Hi where do you guys source your replacement Halogen Lamps from?

I had two go down last night and need to source pretty quickly.

I'm not sure if your local DIY superstore would stock such items:

MODEL ELC 24V 250W Halogen.

Lesson: must get a small stock in!

Thanks

maplins if you are really stuck but not cheap think they are about a tenner each,which is quite steep.

as opposed to something like thishttp://cgi.ebay.co.uk/10-x-24v-250w-ELC-Long-Life-A1-259-Acme-Abstract-NJD_W0QQitemZ350231021529QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_Con Elec_LightingLEDsStrobes_RL?hash=item518b6547d9&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_844wt_941

£10 a lamp is a rip off at Craplins!!!

Thanks for the link

Maybe it's time to look at LED gobo lighting

Philips Broadway lamps are about £7-8 but last forever (seemingly). I used to buy the cheap ones off fleabay but they'd only last half a dozen gigs. I've got Broadways in my dynarocks and they've lasted about 18 months so far :)

Think you can get them at djstore, and I also think Darren can get hold of them in bulk.

Last time of asking, the well had run dry. :( Supplier charging something silly. Same with Gaffa tape. :( :(

Welby if you still need some bulbs I have about 12 elc lamps going looking for £5 each if you want any all still boxed. I only have 2 lights that use them now I switched to led so they a surplus to requirments at the moment. They are all from maplin and retail boxed not the cheap ones from ebay.

No - it was only with gaffa tape.

If people want to make a bulk order for lamps, then fair enough, but it's £8 delivery, so it has to be bulk!
