Projection Bulbs- Source

[bd3d@xxxxxxxxxxxxx (William Davis )]

Hello to all!
Many thanks to Dave Hutchison for the info on halogen bulbs for the 
TDC.  I had seen your post a year or so ago stating that you were using 
halogens but kept forgetting to ask which ones.  As far as finding a 
source, a small pamphlet came to my desk at work last year from Gray 
Supply Co. 4415 Indianapolis Blvd, East Chicago IN 46312-2696.  They 
claim to stock some 240,000 bulbs, among them projection bulbs.  They 
have a price of around $12 each for the standard 500 and 750 watt 
tungsten bulbs (CZX and DDB respectively), which is the best price I've 
seen.  For the bulbs Dave H. mentioned, prices range from $28 to 30.  
They do not show the BTP or BTR in stock.  These may not be the current 
prices, and these other bulbs may now be in stock.  They may be reached 
at 1-800-238-2244.  I am still running with the supply of bulbs that I 
purchased from Reel-3D two years ago, so I have not dealt with Gray 
Supply (yet).  Perhaps someone with experience can offer a report 
(quality, customer service etc.)?  

"I tripped over the bucket and it spilled and put out the fire.  Now 
what Keats?"

Regards,
Bill D.
