davo Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Where is the best/cheapest place to get replacement bulbs for the lightforce 140 and 170, please??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shrek Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 They had the same type 12V two pronged halogen bulbs in aldi the other day for about 90p each, was going to stock up but couldnt remeber which wattage i needed, look around hardwarestores as the bulbs in lightforce lamps are the same as some of the halogen ceiling lamps and can be picked up far cheaper that the likes of deben etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Redfox Posted February 16, 2008 Report Share Posted February 16, 2008 Varmartin is right the lamping bulbs are Projector bulbs, which have the verrtical element and are Xenon not halogen and much better quality, I have done ok buying them off the online photo stores, although slides are going out of fashion now but usually pay 3.50 - 3.90 for them. redfox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

charly hunter Posted February 17, 2008 Report Share Posted February 17, 2008 I bought the same bulbs in the same store last year, and they are no where near as bright. My lamp will not reach out anything like 200 yds let alone 400 yds. False economy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
