These are supposedly guaranteed for 50 years. If they can really last that long, consider me impressed. http://www.me-dtc.com/product_line/ballasts.htm No affiliation.

The ME lamps I have experience with are all circa 1998. Not bad lamps at all, but their marketing has a very "snake oil" feel to it.

From what I can tell on their website, the only way to buy their stuff is to call them. An archaic business model if you ask me.
