What lights did you finally get? I remember you were thinking about some scans! Bulbs usually last a long time as long as you let them cool down before handling them, I would just get whats recomended by the manufacturer of the fixture you purchased. As far as repairing them I wouldnt want to risk grounding them or doing anything to ruin the warranty on your units.

As far as speed I ordered something for the very first time from PSSL on Friday & I got delivery of the first 2 units yesterday, the last 4 they didnt have in stock but I was aware of that when I placed my order because I asked. Im pretty sure they could get some bulbs to you before the weekend if you order early enough.

Whats up ej.....I went ahead and went against everyones advice and got the Chauvet intimidator 1.0's. I actually found the bulbs in my little town at an electricaol supply shop! I could not believe it! The guy had 3 boxes of ELC 250 Phillips bulbs. He sold me the bulbs for $2.50 a piece. I could not believe that either! I bought a shitpile from him!. Back to the lights...I played out with them Friday night for around 3 hours non stop and they really impressed me for the price in which I paie for them. I know they are no where near a Martin or other high end light but they do serve the purpose for me being that they are small, fairly compact, and they have a decent preprogrammed show built in so I don't need a DMX control. If you are a mobile this is great because you generally have so much other shit to deal with when your spinning a gig. I will say that my curiosity about better scans and moving heads has perked up since I received the Intimidators but as of now I am pleased with thier performance.

thats cool we all have different tastes & opinions & thats what we come here to get input, just because somebody likes or dislikes something doesnt mean there opinion is right or wrong, as long as your happy with your purchase it doesnt matter what other dj's think, chauvets a good brand i got a little 4 light color bank & the lights i just ordered from pssl are the chauvets colorwash 200b, i fired the first pair up & im already impressed with em

I still have a pair of Chauvet Insignia's. The only thing that has gone wrong after several years is the plug the bulb fits into shorted out. I Took the same plug off an old malibu Yard light and fixed it. Oh yeah, and the mirrors cracked on me but you can order replacements from Chauvet.

The answer to your question, you can get a landscape lighting bulb from the hardware store for emergency use. Not nearly as bright but it'll come through in a pinch.

Never heard of using a landscape light? You serious? Are they the same voltage? The ones I am using are 24V 250W.

They are less watts... I think I grabbed two 60 watt bulbs one time for back up because I was waiting for an order in the mail.

BTW... that's a killer deal on those bulbs, you were smart to scoop a gang of them up.

No doubt!
