The bulbs for mine cost about 20p from any electrical shop. That's the joy of a bright beaver.

Did that, used some tesco 50w ones but they haven't stood up to the challange. 5 dives and they are fooked and they haven't got the brightness of the beaver ones. So I'm going back to the manufacturers ones, they lasted two years.

You must be unlucky, my 50w bulb has lasted a few years.

I use 20s on holiday so I don't wake the fish at night

I need a 50w for the low viz dark wreck dives my buddy got me in to several years ago. 20w bulb would be like waving a fibre optic cable end around inside elton johns arse.........

Unfortunately, waving a 50w around on a wreck will give you about 45 minutes of light and them - bam! darkness. That's why I've just got a new torch

True. Which is why I have a plasma as second / backup torch. Lasts 4 hours the beauty.

Anyway, back to topic Anyone know where I can get manufacturers bulbs on the web?

I had a similar problem getting a bulb so I emailed Beaver, next day I had a replacement for free!!, can't fault them (same with a faulty depth gauge)
