Clinton, I have used a lamp similar to the one you are hoping to replace the original lamp with, with disastrous results. The lamp is brighter but remember the lamp's concentrated heat is on a small aperture just under the frame, if you pause the film over this, it heats up very quickly as I found out when it burnt a frame of film completely through. The light and heat has no where to go but through your film frame. My advice to you would be, clean the optics and the mirror first, and make sure the mirror is correctly aligned to the screen, this will make a difference. They are not brilliant even when new, led would be better, perhaps now they do something, back then it was not heard of for this kind of lighting, the only drawback is that you cannot focus the light without a lens, there maybe one with a fixed focus lens that will fit this, I have not searched online, maybe worth a look.
