Comments about Lamp GCA Video Lamp 250w 120v.:

I use these everyday in my job as a newsphotojounalist. Use this blub on a Lowel Pro and you can get great lighting. These little blubs put out a lot of light and the slightest bump will pop it. Here's a tip: go to[...] and get a lamp dimmer, they cost $10-20. That way you can slowly power on and off you lamp instead of that sudden surge that kills your light. I get years out of my bulbs versus weeks without. You can also trim that cord with ease by popping of the little plug on the bottom.

I have to use these bulbs in the Lowel VIP Pro lights, and if you ever so slightly bump the light stand while the light is turned on, it will break right away... I mean, you look at it funny and it's lights out...and at 20 bucks a pop...yikes!
