Sure, I'm game! I can loop you into our comms with LLA and you can do the same, and they can send us both the results as they come in. OSLUV says they're happy to pay for it too so no worries about the expense

I really do think the ushio bulb will last 13.5k+ hours though, and that's a long time to wait--how about we publish the LLA results at 1000 hours, and every subsequent 1000 hour interval after that? At minimum, it should give us a sense for how the lamps are performing, even though we might not get the L70 lifetime for a while. Then, as soon as LLA has confirmed receipt of both our samples we can both retract our lifetime claims, at least until the first 1000 hour interval

Just let me know a good email for you and we can get the ball rolling on this, you can get me at vivian@aerolamp.net
