At Rostronics, it says that the Britek GY-650 light (Product ID: G-600W) can accept 250W, 300W, 500W, 600W, and 650W Bulbs.
I thought I would start a thread where everyone can share any bulbs that they have successfully used in the Britek GY-650 Light.
This DVInfo thread states that "My 600w says it uses G5.3/G6.35 on the back of the light."
Based on this thread's post #15 by Raytracer: "It appears the Ushio DYH [and NOT the Osram DYH] is necessary due to the length of the legs. ... At first they claimed it was supposed to be a GY9.5 base. They then claimed that it wouldn't work unless I used their bulb, so I told them to ship one back with the light, and they proudly charged me $17 for a Ushio DYH"
This 600W/120V Ushio 1000246 (DYH) $11.75 appears to be the bulb they sent Raytracer.
OTHER 120V Bulbs 250W, 360W, 650W
Has anyone tried using this 250W/120V Ushio 1000453 (EYH/FKT) $9.98?
Has anyone tried a 360W/120V EYB bulb such as the Ushio 1000442 (EYB) $5.75?
Has anyone tried a 650W/120V DVY bulb such as the Ushio 1000225 (DVY) $11.50?
Or has anyone tried using this Ushio 1000890 $12.65 (G6.35 base)?
OTHER 220-240V Bulbs
There is very little on successful use of these higher voltage bulbs. The only thing I could find was this DVInfo post: "As far as 220v, the 600/650w will take: JCD 3200k 650w 220v 3.0 amps"
It would be great to have a list of bulbs that do not blow when used with this light, so please post anything you feel will be helpful. Thanks.
