HID Torches.

LO,

Has anyone managed to source a UK supplier for HID bulbs c/w ballasts?

On this subject, any cheap battery suppliers also?

Ta once again

I am afraid not, which is rather annoying as I have had to pay out for my third bulb

[Justin Owen]

if you can tell me manufacturers/part numbers etc, i may be able to get them...

<font color='#8D38C9'>let me know if you can get cheap bulbs. I keep dropping my torch and at 80 quid a drop its costing me a fortune.

On the other hand have managed to locate a very cheap source for underwater waterproof notebooks. well under half the cost of the ones you can get at dis-uk and places.

i'm not sure whether this will help,but can only try.

if you look on your old bulb you will see a web site address.

if it the same as my uk100light cannon it will say walamps.com.

which turns out to be welch allyn,they make the bulbs in the usa,i think the part number is LK10-007-00.

if you go to the web site you need to go to solearc then work down the part numbers.

theres even the drawing for the bulbs on here.

if any yd's got there own company may be worth getting a few people together and order a batch?

hope this helps because they are bloody expensive for what they are.

WA are reluctant to deal with anything but BIG orders, AIUI - the hiddivelights group bemoans the difficulty of getting the damn things on a regular basis

You can get a developer's kit (5 bulbs) without too much trouble, tho they're totally un-warranty'd as they're for experimental purposes...

Myself and Tibbs are in the process of trying to get some people together to get some 18W HID bulbs from Welch Allen ATM. Tibbs has spoken to them and their happy to sell us a batch of 5 with the usuall warranties etc. We need at least 3 and may be able to justify 4 but we need at least one other person to go ahead.

These are the 18W bulbs from the Halcyon lights.

If anyone is interested, let us know.

Cheers,
Rob.
