They specially make their products inexchanable. the bulbs and fixtures are no universal. the opposite is true. You want to replace a special bulb, find it. These bulbs don't even last. Defective bulbs are part of the eplotation. They last a couple month, not a couple years. They're no consumer friendly. You have to go to slyan to replace it and they don't offer replacements. They're only available in bulk. Sylvan knows very well what they're doing. Sylvan is located in france right?
