Thus, I had a 2500XBO die on me with only 1475 hrs on it - just plain die. No hints whatsoever of any sort of failure-physical or electrical evidence of any failure points. It knocked the rectifier into a lockout mode with the "ignition" LED displaying..prob due from numerous attempts of ignition and then just locked up.
At least Christies, when they get age, they get a little grumpy on striking, but they will ignite and light up-not the prettiest light, but will ignite.
Thus, why do OSRAMS have this sort of failure, I wonder? For all of the Osrams that I've used in the past, it seems that they love to die this way..and they will die when they want to - even new out of the box with 2 hrs on them.
