My 4500-II just blew a gasket, and I need to replace the halogen bulb. The bulb that was in the enlarger was an ESJ 85W 82V. I don't have the manual for the e nlarger, but looking on bhphoto under the description of the 4500-II indicates t hat an EYA 200W 82V bulb comes with the enlarger.

What should i get? Are their any advantages to getting the 200W bulb, other tha n the obvious brightness difference? Could I put in a 120V bulb and expect it t o work properly? I've read that higher voltage bulbs may not last as long, sinc e they chew up tunsten a bit faster than the lower voltage bulbs....

I'm very interested in seeing what the manual has to say, so if someone has one. ...

BTW, does anyone have a contact address for Saunders? I'd really like to get a copy of the manual.

Thanks!
