Most topics about lamps are from 2013, so I was wondering if there was some change now.
I just bought a brand new looking and serviced Elmo GS1200 in mint condition and I'm as happy as a child.
The lamp that is in this beauty is a Fuji 24V/200W EJL (I believe Cold Mirrored), but to my knowledge this is not the right lamp to go with, since it is also used for 16mm projectors, I believe. I found a website where I can buy the Fuji ESC lamps, but are this lamps still for the narrow 8mm gate? Is this still the brightest lamp for a Elmo GS1200?
For my Elmo ST1200 and Bauer T610 I still have a spare Osram Xenophot HLX lamp. Are those still the brightest for 8mm projectors with 15V/150W? Philips is also making them now. Also is Narva making them and that version works for 500 hour. Does anyone have experience with this?
Are there Xenophot kinda solutions for the Elmo GS1200 too now? I like the light to be somewhat whiter if possible.
I also did read about a conversion to a HID by someone living in the UK, but I do not dare to send this beautyfull projector away by post. Some of those guy's are throwing with the boxes. Is there anyone who can do a conversion like this nearby the Netherlands, like Belgium or Germany, so I could bring the projector myself?

A good point Graham, I have not used this long enough to answer that, but if this happens with the normal lamp, I guess the answer must be yes, you can convert any of this type of lamp reflector to hid, not just the facet type as per the ESC. On a like for like test, this conversion was almost as bright as the two blade beaulieu, with the GS at three blade, at the screen measured, the conversion cost about 30.00 pounds sterling in bits. With the brilliant white light, its a no brainer really. I asked on here if anyone had got a blown ESC lamp and offered to pay the postage so I could do some tests, I had one person respond, and he was in Australia !!!!!!!.
