Hi

The newer LPRO's should have modern lamps in them. Who knows what the older
(1990's) parts have in them.

Thanks for all the good information!  I am running my FE-5680a 24/7, and, as
suggested, have a couple of backups.  At my age I should be set for life!

One last question: what category of lamps do the Efratom LPRO-101 units use?

Best regards,
