Ade,
You said you had a spare of these bulbs ready to go, how old is this bulb? I'm not sure when these new bulbs came on the market. My understanding is this new T Rex bulb is made at the same Westron factory as the Megaray and is a Bob MacCarger (Megaray head honcho) desgin. I dont know if this means it's simply a rebadged Megaray but at first look it does appear to be an alternative.

I've heard similar things about the performance of new Komodo range of bulbs but they are retailling at around £80 for some reason!
Megaray hasn't been made by the Westron Factory for years, Megaray is Megaray its not branded anything else.
