Not hopeful about this one, but thought I'd throw it out there. I'm looking for replacement bulbs for an old, weird St. George 35mm desktop projector (made in Hong Kong, who knows when). Lots of Chinese lettering on the projector and bulb box, but it's a 30V 400W bulb.

I had trouble uploading the JPG of it, but it's here:

Anyone know of a place that might have such a bulb? I tried topbulb.com and another place, both failed to find it. (I'm also hoping for a 650W version.)

Thanks,
Scott

Looks a lot like the bulb my office desk lamp used.

Low and high voltage versions available at Lowe's and Home Depot.

Probably not a 650 watt version though...

You might be able to adapt this one:

Looks like an EVD halogen bulb might work. 36v instead of 30. Check here: https://www.kennedywebster.com/search/?keyword=Evd

Thank you all for the suggestions! there may be hope. (Though most of those have shorter poles, but maybe I can work with them.) I may also try and find someone who can reconfigure the projector for more common bulbs and voltages.
