Focomat condenser question

[M.Hilo]

I found back the emails: last year my friend wrote Fischer and was told the minimum order was 50 lamps. Better contact a net seller or nearby shop.

One can buy these from Fotoimpex:

Note that these are for 230V!

50 lamps is a little too much. I use one in fifteen years.

Dr Fischer confirmed that they only sell wholesale. They suggested contacting SIL info@sillamps.com who are their distributor.

I looked at sillamps (Eindhoven, The Netherlands), the lamps are there, also the short ones, but ... "70pcs: Direct shipping
300pcs: Ships within 5 days".

I don't think they sell one lamp at a time, but I am not 100% sure of that.

Maybe someone should see if they can put in an order for 15 to 20..gather some orders here and on other sites..and just sell them that way..to insure supply.

Hmmm, strange that Dr Fischer recomended Sil if they only sell in quantity. Maybe as Sil are the distributor they can advise on stockists?

I have asked my photo shop to inquire about the sizes of the lamps of the current stock held by their distributor. This is in The Netherlands and perhaps the same distributor that Erik mentions. I suggest to wait a moment and see the outcome.

I think that the best thing to do is to wait until monday. I'll try to call them then and ask how individuals can get their lamps.

Yesterday I had to go to a funeral and today is a kind of memorial day in The Netherlands.
