Todd, I only recently discovered the 9V "Light & Sound" system and have been thinking about that question myself. I've been acquiring used 9V lights recently and some bulbs do seem dimmer than others. But I don't know what the life expectancy is. It (...)

Hi Mike - Great comments! (...) Yep. I think it's not too cool when people are afraid to post constructive criticism.
