Alternative 250 Watt bulb for White Lighting x1600

[model mayhem gallery]

<p>I need to replace the modeling light in my White Lightning x1600. However when I went to order it from the web site it was $19 plus $9.50 for shipping. I really don't think I need to pay 30 buck for a light bulb. I know they last 3000 hours, but does anyone have a good alternative bulb I can find locally. Calumet sells one made by Photogenic it is also $29 bucks looking for something cheaper. Will a regular old $4 250 watt bulb found at the supermarket work?<br>

Thanks</p>

<p>You could probably get one from BH or Adorama. I'm not sure about White Lightening, but many use a standard base. You just have to get one with the proper wattage and size.</p>

<p>That appears to be a standard base. You should be able to use an ordinary household light bulb as long as it doesn't bump into the reflector or flash tube, though it won't be as bright.</p>

<p>Perfect Raymond. This looks just like the buld from White Lighting at a MUCH lower price. I don't care if I have to replace it more often I will have another $4 in two months :-).<br>

Thanks</p>
