It's a shame because i like being loyal to a company and I have been using Megaray since 2010 but I think I need to try another brand now.

Thank you for your responses, I will have a look at the other options.
there may be issues with the filament ? Just double check the connection into the holder. Sometimes I find they may dust up over time and the connection isn't clear, or the bulb is too cold on lighting. (do this all unplugged!!!! ) don't want you coming back on here saying you've frazzled your hair into a new look.
Arcadia are brilliant I think. ive tried different makes 125W 160 W etc but dependent on set up I love the 80w Arcadia though have them 100w for colder areas, they aren't so dazzling to look at either. I sometimes have 7 going in different tables and the glow and warmth adds to the ambience. CB
