Best Brand ELC Lamps?

[Paul Adsett]

I don't normally post on the 16mm forum,but having just converted my super 8mm Elmo GS1200 to use the ELC 24V 250W lamp, which is used on many 16mm projectors, I would like to get opinions on what is the best brand ELC bulb. Who is the whitest and brightest of them all? Thomas mentioned Phillips, but I cannot find them anywhere.

The Philips are good Paul.

But personally I prefer the Xenophot 50 hour usual Osram.

Avoid the longer life ones at all costs though, in any make.

Best Mark.

I am in complete agreement. An excellent lamp. I always use them.
