Norrie Posted October 8, 2011 Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 Hiya, Anyone have any idea where I can buy a new bulb for my NightSearcher750...12V either 50 or 100watt bulb...but prefer the 100.. I was given it today by a mate who has given up on lamping...so.... I've found a website that sells them...BUT I'm NOT paying almost a fiver in post, taking the total to £18 for the 100W..or over £13 for the 50w.....there must be an alternative bulb..thing is tho, the lamp came to me without a bulb in it, so, i've no idea what one does the job...or even what it looks like... Any help would be brill. Thanks in advance guys... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Norrie Posted October 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted October 8, 2011 used to buy mine from maplins, around £4.00 Hiya, I have just been told they're the same bulbs as in the Lightforce ,I also have a LF 170.... so, have bought one off the that auction site for £6.10 posted...if it doesnt fit, it'll do as a spare for that lamp,.. Got a Maplins about 1 mile from here, so, will also pop up to see them as well...thanks for that.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wymberley Posted October 9, 2011 Report Share Posted October 9, 2011 Just to make sure as no one has actually mentioned it, you have gone for the vertical element version of the bulb? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL, Whooosh, that went right over my head...I dont understand the question ...tho, I've since found out, the bulb from my LF170 doesnt fit the Nightsearcher 750...the pins are too wide..

Oh, that's bad luck! Forget the technical term, but the type of bulb in your 170 has two variants with regard to the element: One runs in line with the length of the bulb - vertically - and the other across it - horizontally. All being well, you have the former. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
