It's getting quite hard to find lamps for the VL2500.
The VL approved lamps are:
Philips / MSR700 SA/SE GY9.5
GE CSR 700/SA 15380
I'm not sure if there is any other product option. @DELO72 is Osram currently making an equivalent? I don't see one.
If you search for them You'll find two places selling these lamps at a little over $100 but if you research those companies you'll find they have endless reviews complaining about how they are scammers who mark prices low then tell you later you have to send more money to get the product or they send the wrong item and customer service is a nightmare to try to get your money back. No thanks. The reliable stores I usually shop don't have them listed anymore. If you can find them at a legitimate company they are running $200-$300. I take it this lamp is partially if not fully discontinued.
It appears my options are stock up on $300 lamps or send them to surplus when the current lamps are gone. Any other ideas?
