FMR 600W is the proper lamp for the Zoom Mini. The original manufacturer's cut sheets, dated 03/85, state:
"A revolutionary new 600 watt lamp increases light output by nearly 50% over conventional 500 watt screw-based systems. A unique lamp house design allows constant orientation of the filament support bridge, which translates into a more compact source--meaning greater efficiency and higher light output." I recall thinking at the time: "Colortran has gone from a candelabra screwbase to a med. bipin with one pin larger than the other." Talk about one extreme to another!
