I've got to ask, did you opt for the more powerful bulbs?  When I got
mine, you could either get, if I remember the numbers correctly, 35W
each bulb (which was the standard), or pay a little more (only upfront
- replacement bulbs were free just the same) for 55W each bulb.  I
tested both, and there was a considerable difference in getting the
motolight with the 55W bulbs.
