Replacement modelling bulbs for Interfit EX150

[dougmonkey]

Hi,

I need to by replacement bulbs for my Interfit EX150 MKII but am finding it hard to find any that are more than 75W. Does anyone know where I can get replacement bulbs that are 100w or higher? I tried B&Q etc but they are either low wattage cooker hood bulbs or energy saving ones. I did find these and wondered if they;d do the trick: http://www.lamps-on-line.com/halogen-lights/single-ended-halogen-lamps/single-ended-jd.html

thanks

Do interfit heads not use the standard E27 fitment in which case getting over 75W should be really easy unless I'm missing something obvious

It's E14 on the EX150 unfortunately

I can't see from the less than perfect photos and poor description whether it's a standard Edison screw or a small Edison screw fitting - either way, it should be easy enough to get something that fits.
But be aware that the probable reason why your flash head has such a low wattage bulb is that it doesn't have fan cooling, a brighter bulb may cause serious problems.

It's a small Edison screw. And good point about the low wattage due to lack of fan!

Would this do http://www.lightsworld.co.uk/p/Mini...campaign=PLA&gclid=CNz_vNC6qLsCFdOWtAodGQ4A_A
20W energy saving equivalent to 100W bulb or are energy saving a no go in studio lights.

As well spotted by Garry though I guess you would use a higher rated bulb at your pearl if not a fan cooled head.

you could always go for the proper replacement 100w bulb but at 25 quid a pop there not cheap

These should work? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281181335231

The Interfit flash heads have fans afaik.

cosmicma i did find those before but they are way too expensive.

simonbarker - unfortunately those are E27 mount, i need E14.

I have found some on Amazon.com. for 4 bulbs with shipping it come to about £40 so might just have to bite the bullet and get those.

Some of their heads have fans, some don't. It probably depends on who makes them.
Generally, it's safe to say that they don't if they have a very low powered modelling lamp and if the spec doesn't say that they do have one.
