Philips dl50 hid bulb

[LuxLuthor]

I just like the DL-50 Fatboy because of its name. Fatboy! How could you not like a bulb named Fatboy?

 

[BVH]

Just like how could you not love Pelicans? They are so ugly that they are cute! I love them!

Anyone try the Fatboy at 75W yet?

 

[BVH]

Yes, the Barn Burner has been around here for a few years and it provides 75 Watts to the Fatboy bulb. About an 8500 Lumen output.

Same light externally as the Xeray50W.

I see. I'm just curious coz I can't find one from the market. Do you know how much was the price for this BB? After looking at the BB shots, I get to wonder if its worth getting the L50W 🙂 over the 75W BB (though its not available atm) 😕

They very occassionally show up in the marketplace for about $1200. They won't be made again according the the manufacturer.

 

[LOUSYGREATWALLGM]

Is it because of the thermal problem? Is 60 minutes run time at high mode that bad? :green: Anyway can I mod the L50 to drive like BB 75W? (replacing the ballast & bulb)
PS: You dont have to give the details, I just want to know if it is possible or not coz my L50 is still coming so the modification is still far from reality. Thanks!

I don't know what's available in the way of ballasts for that light or what does or doesn't fit. That's a pretty sophisticated light compared to an auto part store SLA. You'd have to know what you're doing.

 

[BVH]

Nothing I have seen 51 Watts and over will fit. It's mighty tight in there.

 

[LOUSYGREATWALLGM]

Thanks to both answers. :twothumbs

Well, we all owe you and him a huge debt of gratitude. Fat Boy bulbs are no longer made, and the last group buy that XeRay allowed last fall went for about $85 delivered per bulb. $45 for 2 is insane. I just got 25 pairs from his EBay sale....and would appreciate a photo close up from you if you could.

Others can find ballasts...maybe not of the XeRay 75W custom made quality, but this bulb looks beautiful with a 50W ballast. I think BVH and Lips have sources.

If anyone has a brand new pair of the Fat boy bulbs I would love to purchase a pair. send me an email [email protected]

ANYONE?

BVH and LuxLuthor can help you with that request.

I'M looking for a pair of Dl50 fatboys to run with my 50w adjustable ballasts.

I've been a member of HIDplanet.com (same screen name) for years and was recently informed I would be able to find a set on here. I'm a new member and cannot PM anyone yet. If you have a brand new pair to sell please let me know

 

[windstrings]

Here while back a few came along at a good price, but I'm not sure if the folks who bought them did so for resale.

Good luck.. you may have to buy them at retail price....

 

[teamSVTour]

Yea I saw a bunch were sold for very cheap recently. I'd like to pick up a pair of those if possible. No way am I paying retail though. I know one guy bought like 27 pairs! Lol. Surely he can't be using all of them

 

[windstrings]

If I bought 27 pairs, I would be planning on using them some day.
Either on my own mad projects to turn a profit or as my own hobbys or as spares.

If they decided they didn't really need that many and sell that would be good for those who want a pair.......

I've just seen some people get attitudes because someone didn't want to share in their good fortune of the good price they got.
When I buy stock... I don't know if the price will rise or fall when I buy it... if I guessed right and it goes up, its not fair for someone to want me to sell it to them close to my buying price...... its what the market will bear.

I don't think thats reasonable because when they bought, they took a risk because they weren't sure of what they were getting until the order arrived. And anyone has a right to keep what they bought if they want.
Its not like its food that someone needs for their life, but often people just want to get the best deal they can find and don't really want the bulbs anyway unless the price is right.

Anyway.... I all else fails.... I don't see a problem with paying retail if I want a bulb.. its not that much money.

But in the past, The people who get the most offended are those making projects for resale and trying to turn a higher profit by getting cheap bulbs.
