Are you sure they are the same lamp Tahir? The Megaman Economy range was announced in September and available since October. I am interested to know specifically which lamp you have that has failed.

Cris, yes they should be fine for outdoors year-round in the UK. In fact, I have supplied the Aurora lamp to a kebab manufacturing guy who runs them 24/7 inside his massive industrial freezers. His have been working just fine for a long while now and he is pretty happy with them.
