Hey friends, can someone please point me to a UK source for ESC 24v 200w lamps for the GS1200.

Thanks [Smile]

I'd try CHC, they don't have them on the site as such at present but say they have many types of lamps not on their short list and to phone 01472 291934 to ask.

I believe the Fuji ones are becoming rather difficult to source now. Let's hope Mr Foster continues to supply them.
I have no idea where he was still obtaining supplies of these from but while he has been away, I've seen quite a few UK members of forums asking the very same question Stuart.

Plenty of EJL , just not the correct ESC variety.
There still appears to be plenty in the U.S. though Stuart if you fancied buying a job lot.

ES Photographics should have the Fuji lamps.

Couldn't see them currently listed on a quick look but worth trying.

As Andrew said, Paul Foster was a good source for these rather special lamps.
At a pinch, the EJL (A1/252) will do the job, but the light output on the screen will be less due to the spread of light as it was designed for use in a 16mm projector.
If you can put up with this, the EJL is cheaper to buy.

Anyone know whether the EWF is suitable?

Good news, Barry at Indi8 has them. I'm going to pop over in the morning and collect one.
