My and larger says not to use anything higher than 100W. My bulbs are 62V 85W.

 

I'm so happy to have found it was just a bad bulb!

oops, "enlarger".

@janet cull

What bulb did you get?

According to the manual, the M605 uses a 150w bulb (PH212)

On my m600, I found 150w to be toooo bright, and went down to 75w (PH211), which was still marginally too bright. I would have preferred a 30w bulb.

 

 

 

My enlarger says to use nothing higher than 100W. My bulbs are 82v 85w. I'm happy as a clam (are they??) to find it was just a bad bulb!

Thank you.

I had one more new bumb and tried that one. It's working perfectly! I don't know if I positioned the other one wrong or not but I took it out and put in again - at least 3 times snd the illumination was just wrong. I'm so relieved!! Thank you for your quick reply. Makes me want to get back on this forum more often. It's been a long while!

Hello, I haven't been on here for so long. Everything looks different. I guess I need to learn my way around again.

I changed the bulb in my Durst M605 enlarger tonight and something is wrong. When I open my enlarger lens all the way it isn't as bright as before, and it seems to heat up quickly. Ooh, I hope the enlarger isn't about to konk out!

Which forum should I be asking this question in please? THanks.
