What is the difference between this model and the 6000R? Just the life of the bulb? 30,000 vs. 1,500 bursts?

We ended up returning it, unopened as my husband thought I wanted it, and I thought he wanted it. In reality, neither of us wanted it.Sorry I can't help!

I don't personally find I experience better visibility from the Silverstar, and in addition to extra money, remember as well that the Silverstar has a shorter design life. You'll not only pay more for them, you'll replace them a lot more often. Last year I was able to find the design life data on Osram Sylvania's site, but I couldn't find it just now. However, you can expect to replace XtraVisions more often than standard halogens, and Silverstars more frequently than XtraVisions. If I recall correctly, the difference in design life can come out to years for many drivers. The brighter bulbs achieve the extra "brightness" by burning a smaller filament at a higher temperature, so life suffers heavily.

So far bulb has worked perfectly (also brighter than old bulb). Very happy so far but has only been 6 months. Though I don't expect any problems with bulb life, I can't say for sure how long it will last. Warranty info should be shown on item description.

I couldn't find what size bulb you need but I have the 6000k bulb and they are very bright. My friend has 8000k and they are too bright for me. Personally I would go with 6000k they very bright and are definitely brighter than what you have. Check your manual or go to a autozone to see what size you need. You may need a wire harness since it is newer, I needed one for my car.

Only if you buy/select the 1000w model. bulbs are bulbs. Brand doesn't matter

I use 60 Watt Bulbs no problem. I have been using the same sockets for 6 months and have around 15-20 hours AT LEAST on each. I wasn't able to find any label on the bulb itself or packaging that says what wattage it is rated for.

Unfortunately i didn't end up keeping this bulb. I bought 3 different ones and the one i picked was from g7. What i found with all of them was there was a short delay with start up its nothing be worried about.its hardly noticeable and is about 1/2 second.

not sure, I have had no issues with the replacement bulb for over 5yrs and the TV is on pretty much on all day every day. easily in use 15hrs a day. It is a terrific product! I am sure you could contact the company to see if there is some type of warranty on it, which I am sure there is. don't hesitate to get this bulb! It is far better in all aspects than the bulb that came with the TV from factory. you will be surprised at the difference in clarity and sharpness of picture and colors compared to the stock bulb from Sony. you wont be disappointed.

I just checked the actual bulb and it says 60w. Although it seems like its 40w because it's not as bright as a "regular" bulb. So if you want one that looks 40w then it's the right one.

Mine is the quartz version. Each "BULB" is good for 30,000 flashes. There are no extra "BULBS" in the package.

I honestly don't know the answer to that question, I am using t inside and I really don't notice a difference between this bulb and less expensive ones. Sorry I couldn't help you

The bulbs vary in price according the the wattage. I believe the cheaper one ($16 to $18) is a 6 watt bulb. I bought the 8.1 watt version for more light. The ads are a little vague on the equivalent incandescent wattage, but I saw one of the 6 watt bulb ads claiming a 60 watt equivalence. I'm assuming the 8 watt (or 8.1) is supposed to be a 75 watt equivalence, but it looks a bit dim to me. It does, however, perform exactly as advertised, so I'm happy I bought it. I believe that ChiChin also advertises a 4 watt version, but I'd guess that it would be VERY dim (40 watt equivalence?). Hope this helps... The bulbs vary in price according the the wattage.

Hi! The Power-Glo produces 18,000K. It's the best T8 bulb I have ever found to date! =)

Hi, Donald. The bulb is bright and is very energy efficient, however the life is shorter than most standard candelabra based bulbs. It says the life is supposed to be 3000 hours . . . I have purchased three and of the three, two of them lasted less than 500 hours. Pretty pathetic for a bulb in this price range. The electricity saved does not balance the cost of the bulb. In my experience, the lamp is a poor choice.
