Frezzi On Camera Light Broken - DVXuser.com -- The online community for filmmaking

While out filming tonight something knocked the heck out of my Frezzi on camera light. It shattered the reflective dome around the actual bulb. I got soooo lucky that it didn't hit my camera or fish eye. After taking out the pieces of glass, the light still worked. So, I know there's nothing wrong with the wiring or the light itself. But I need to buy a new bulb. Here's pictures. I realized that the 2 posts sticking out need to be pulled out as they broke off from the bulb.

It's a 75w dimmer. I'm pretty sure this is the bulb that broke but I want to make sure.

Also, does anyone know if I can use the 100w bulb in my light?

I would call the folks at Frezzi to answer that question. You would not want to damage the dimmer circuit with a bigger bulb so I would call them for advice just to be safe. I've asked them technical questions in the past and they were very helpful. I think they're located in New Jersey? The phone number is on their web page.
