Thanks..

yea...very tough to see..I'll probably take the lens off and maybe it will be easier to tell.

What about Silver solder? It has a higher melting point.

From a forum post:

Solder goes liquious at 450f*

Silver(45%) melts at about 1100to1200

15% silfoss at 1250 ti 1300.

Go here to see melting points of many solders:

I can tell you that in my experience with conventional short arc lamps and the Cermax type, no manufacturer wants to see lamp base temps exceed 250C and I would guess that MB bases would not see more than the 250C temp. So silver solder should work fine.

Peak beam said solder will melt, I didn't specifically ask about silver solder.
im not sure my soldering iron will handle the higher melting point though
