    Hi Lads,
    Just question regarding light force lamps, I have a striker 170 great lamp but have had alot pf problems with broken wires and connections. I have that sorted but now the bulb is gone. went to the local dealer and he was trying to charge me € 28 for the 12v 100watt bulb!! so i went to a few other places and could find it or it was similarly priced.

    Question: does anyone know where to get the bulb at a realistic price and also what are the tried and tested alternatives to the lightforce.

    Maybe a motorfactors ? I suppose the key matter is the position of the filament.

    28 is a bit steep, got charged 17 for the last one and thought he was robbing me so kept box and went to motor factor, no joy, he rang supplier and quoted number, no joy, he is still looking, good lamp if you mind them but they dont take much hacking or heavy handed use.

    I've tried the motor factors route but no joy, tried hardware stores as well and no good. I've even tried the osram website but no joy,
    dont have the model number just know thats its a 12v 100watt.
