P-Tec has a lifetime warranty...I think they will replace it.
just google for 'princeton tec surge bulb' and they're all over the place. (Which I don't think would be the case if they replaced bulbs under warranty?)
this is actually a change from a couple years ago, I have a surge that needs a bulb and when I was looking they were very hard to find and more expensive than I see now.
yeah, some places refer to it as for torrent/surge. My theory is, it just looked like the bulbs had disappeared after they discontinued the surge, when really they just weren't advertised as such for awhile.
(We've had bad luck with surge bulbs and I wanted to move to LED anyway, so finally replaced both of ours with Torrent LEDs. The way the bulb goes into the Surge is just such poor design.)
there's that but I've also had the opposite problem. One spontaneously broke/melted(?) off while diving, they replaced the guts of both our surges with slightly redesigned guts. Had another bulb just fall out of the updated version, again UW.And yea, I was afraid I was going to break the stems off the bulb pulling it out last night.

Of course the melting incident was the only time I've ever had to use my Surge as a backup because my primary had gone paws up. Oh well, at least it was a full moon...
