I'm going to try to source a replacement HID bulb for my old ARC. Anyone know where I can get them from please ? I think they are Welch Allyn B10N008R.

if they are the std HID bulbs I've got one, I think my ballast has gone, but the bulb is OK.
you can have it for £15 posted if you like.

Loads of threads on MTBR about upgrading the bulb and ballast.

Don't let that stop anyone answering the question, as I (and a few more I suspect) would love to know! There have been a few threads regarding this subject over the last couple of years though I think the situation regarding replacement bulbs has changed.

Cheers Jam bo, last time I trawled that thread it was dated but I'll have another read.

Welch Allyn no longer sell direct to the UK, they have a distributor who charges £lots

It will break my heart to consign a perfectly good and faithful light to the box at the back of the garage (obviously never actually throw ANYTHING away) and be forced into that new fangled LED movement !

To be honest mine's been nothing but trouble since I bought it, but if I can get it going it will be a good spare.

Was broken when it arrived, then broke again after factory repair, now the bulb has fallen apart.

I'm sure the L&M lamps have a separate reflector - those Lumi ones are part of the lamp.

just got a broken one on the classisfied as i had a broken trailtech Hid with good bulb and ballast.
However, the trailtech ones (same as Lumi used) have the lens and reflector built in, the L&M one has a seperate reflector and uses the clear glass in the can for the lens so the two are not intercangeable.
SO off to LED conversion world it is for me unless someone can sugges and L&M bulb supplier for less than £30??
