Did any of you tried to build a halogen bulb into an editor. I recently saw one and it really gave a great and bright image. I would like to convert one myself, but don't know how to do it.

Try Wittners: Wittners-lamps second up from bottom of page. This is converter which takes the 6v/10w halogen lamp. Also: FFR-Film Goto lampen and the item is no 47010.

Thanks Kevin. Do you think it's save to use the 20W version (no. 47020)? And once again it shows how expensive Wittner is.
I donīt understand German but i did a babel fish translation of the text and I think it is not only an adapter it is a complete halogen lamp that fits the editor
Look here at the translation: It becomes light - in the filmbetrachter you to have a filmbetrachter, that for the use of conventional 6V/10W-Kugelkopflampen and you is not not bright the viewer picture is intended enough? No problem. Because you receive immediately with us a 6V/10W halogen bulb, which fits without adapters into the old version of your filmbetrachters. AGAIN: Now in OSRAM HLX execution! 6V/10W halogen bulb for filmbetrachter m. Ba15s-Sockel part number. 4093 - (9.92 EUR net) 11.50 EUR gross

Even better if there is no adapter involved. I have an adapter in my Goko which accepts these small halogen bulbs. I bought my adapter years ago from the Widescreen Centre in London.
