I have a powersun too. I've only been using it for a few weeks, so don't know about it blowing out. You have to be very careful with them. The must be set up so that they point straight down, not on an angle. The glass might break if you get if wet while it's on (obviously) and apparently the grease from your hands can also cause it to break when it's hot. I don't touch mine but use a paper towel.
That being said, they last twice as long as a flourescent (a year), penetrate much further, and give off heat. They also will shut themselves off if they get too hot, and then turn themselves back on once they are cool. If you unplug it by accident, it will wait until it's cool again before coming back on (assuming you plug it back in,haha).
I use a 60 watt for heat also.
