Alpine Head Pump for Large Fountains

I was excited to find this product as it seems to be the exact unit that came in a Homedics water fountain my parents bought about 25 years ago. Their original unit failed several years ago after running dry. I spent a long time looking for a replacement pump with the halogen light, there was nothing close, until I found this. Upon receiving the pump I immediately connected it to the old fountain and put water into the basin. I turned on the power, excited to see this fountain which glowed and flowed in my parents living room for years, and then collected dust for many more, finally come back to life. The pump worked perfectly. However, the light came on and flickered, then went out permanently. Utter disappointment. The light was on for less than 2 seconds before failure. I could have bought any plain pump, or pump with ugly LED lighting, over the years, but I didn't because I wanted to restore this fountain to its original beautiful function with soft light. That's why I bought this product, it looks exactly like the original unit. It's the only halogen offering I found. If this had happened a few months after purchase, I wouldn't be as bothered. To have it fail immediately upon first use made me not even want a replacement.
