•How long it takes before the lamp bursts or the life expires may vary greatly by lamp. Some may burst shortly after first use.
•Burst is likely to happen if the lamp is used after the replacement period has elapsed.
•When the lamp bursts, the broken pieces of glass may get inside the product or be released outside from the openings for ventilation.
