Author Topic: Kinoton Threadng Lamp Source? Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 10-06-2014 10:29 PM                     The threading lamp in one of my Kinoton FP 30's has died. I'm running a crapload of archival prints (change-overs only)in the next couple of weeks so I'd like to find a replacement. I don't have much info other than that one of the bulb's contacts is stamped "24V, 3W" Anybody know a source? THANKS!  |  IP: Logged Steve Matz Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 672 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 10-06-2014 10:46 PM                     http://www.donsbulbs.com/cgi-bin/r/t.pl?searchb=kinoton+fp30+threadlamp+bulb+24v&bclick.x=26&bclick.y=4  |  IP: Logged Buck Wilson Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 894 From: St. Joseph MO, USA Registered: Sep 2010 posted 10-07-2014 12:06 AM                     www.topbulb.com Festoon base, 24v 3w Order code O-6430 $1.99 each ________________________________________ www.1000bulbs.com https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/730/Q-FE01012CL.html $1.67 each https://www.1000bulbs.com/product/5161/Q-FE0324CL.html $1.47 each I have bought from both suppliers. I prefer 1000bulbs, there are way more options(I didn't list all of them), quicker, more user friendly, good customer service, great prices. I've spent close to a grand with them. How neat! These are xenon bulbs!  |  IP: Logged Leo Enticknap Film God Posts: 7474 From: Loma Linda, CA Registered: Jul 2000 posted 10-07-2014 08:51 AM                        The 24v bit is annoying: if the power supply to your threading lamp had been 12v, you could have bought spare bulbs from any auto parts store.  |  IP: Logged Jeff Taylor Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 601 From: Chatham, NJ/East Hampton, NY Registered: Apr 2000 posted 10-07-2014 09:13 AM                     Ditto the good comments on 1000bulbs. I buy from them regularly, and they have very good customer service.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!! Posts: 12814 From: Annapolis, MD Registered: Dec 1999 posted 10-07-2014 09:29 AM                     Note, Kinoton used two different 3W lamps... "S6" or 6x36mm and "S7" 8x31mm. You may need to change your socket, depending on what lamp you can get. I believe we still have both in-stock.  |  IP: Logged Jim Cassedy Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1661 From: San Francisco, CA Registered: Dec 2006 posted 10-09-2014 10:10 AM                     Thanks everyone. I ordered several of the bulbs the other day. If I don't get them by next week when I really need them, I can 'borrow' one from an FP-38E (Kinoton 35/16mm),as it appears to use the same bulb. At first, I thought I could use one of the threading bulbs from a Kinoton DP75 (35/70mm) because I have a lot of those, but they use a totally different lamp. Thanks for the help. -Jim C-  |  IP: Logged System Notices Forum Watchdog / Soup Nazi Posts: 215 Registered: Apr 2004 posted 10-19-2018 01:29 PM                 It has been 1471 days since the last post.  |  IP: Logged Abraham Robinson Film Handler Posts: 16 From: Oakland, California, USA Registered: Oct 2017 posted 10-19-2018 01:29 PM                    anyone have a recommended source for the 'S7' 8x31mm bulb? 1000bulbs only has the 36mm  |  IP: Logged Sean McKinnon Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1712 From: Peabody Massachusetts Registered: Sep 2000 posted 10-22-2018 08:51 AM                        We may have them in stock at BL&S. call Mark G. at 617-787-3131 Extension 107  |  IP: Logged Gary Wachter Film Handler Posts: 21 From: Coppell, TX, USA Registered: Jul 2010 posted 10-26-2018 06:50 PM                     You may want to consider putting in an LED lamp and never have to worry about it again. Search for 24v Festoon lamps. Here is a three watt version. This is about twice as bright as the original and required a slightly larger socket. Results are very good.  |  IP: Logged
