I want to put a Jaxlite in my Bell & Howell 567 arc projectors. The standard Jaxlite is too tall to fit with the exciter lamp cover installed plus the red LED sits about 3/8" too high to shine into the slit lens. Is there a smaller Jaxlite available that has the prefocus base ring?

Why?

Ken, a visit to www.uslinc.com shows four available Jaxlight configurations. The BAK exciter lamp is much smaller than the lamps the Jaxlight is designed to replace. Unless USL is willing to construct a custom bulb (not very likely), you will probably need to remove the current BAK lamp socket assembly and replace it with one to fit the XLS-650 USL lamp. I believe there is room in the housing to do this.
Good luck.

Youc could carefully break the bulb & remove it from it's base & wire some resistors & diodes to connect the LED to or make a base with resistors & diodes & LED to fit the socket.-ie.make shift Jaxlite

I forgot 1 more thing-leave the filament leads on the bulb intact.

Possibly build a custom holder for the one for cinemecanica

I wonder if there is a JAXmotor that could be retrofitted into a model "A".

But why would you want to do this? I was under the impression that 16mm is going to stay with silver tracks.

For now, only 35mm prints are moving to cyan dye tracks:
