Tony, Art and all -- thanks for your thoughts.

I'm just surprised the "laziness" is so repeatable but stranger things have happened.

If it turns out to be a lamp issue, should I look for another Sylvania or is Phillips an alternative? If the online inventory info is correct Phillips is in-stock at my local store, while Sylvania are not. I can wait a couple days if the Sylvania are a better choice.

Also, stay with basic Halogen (~$10) or do the "improved" lamps (e.g. Sylvania XtraVision or Phillips CrystalVision, $17-$25) provide a benefit? I don't mind the cost if there is a benefit... and newer lamp technology is a lot better than the older stuff but I'm not sure how that translates to sealed-beam units.
