Remaining question :
How do you adapt a TDC to accept these hallogen lamps ? It sounds like your
friend Max just plugged them right into the existing TDC sockett.:-) But I
guess it's not that simple. :-(
Can you please tell how to make the 250W hallogens fit the old TDC sockett's.
I'm interested for three reasons: availability of the modern lamps, swiching
from 110 V(USA) to 220 V(Europe) and of course the whiter light.
Thanks.
