Custom Sea Life PC Light Bulbs

Has anyone else had a problem with the 96 Watt bulbs breaking? I have had two crack where they join at the top and can't figure out why.

Thank you

I have heard of the longer PC bulbs cracking because they were not supported correctly.

I've also had trouble with replacement 96 watt lamps. The original ones that came with my PFO retro lasted over a year. One replacement lasted a week before cracking, the other lasted 3 months!

I'm happy I'm not the only one

Does any one know where I should put the support clips?

I thought heat might have caused it so raised the lights up about 10" from the surface and installed a 4" fan. Unfortunatly they broke any way!
