I finally rigged mine up to see what they are like in my lighting design and was annoyed to find that one would get hot, flicker and then go out. I persisted by switching it off and on again. It would stay on for a while then got out. I nearly gave up but then found that it stayed on for an hour or two.

I had actually tried out the other two lamps in my garage and had left them on for a while. So this one had not been 'heatsoaked'. This leads me to the conclusion that these lamps need to be 'heatsoaked'. Is this true or is this lamp really dud?

(I admit that I have not read the instructions)
