Aloha gang,
hoping to get some help in identifying a few of these pieces I can't recall where they are from??

The bi-pin bulb is shot and I can't remember who made this unit or where to get replacement bulbs…ideas?

Nice looking led tower I assume to replace the standard Incan bulbs. Any build ideas on this one?

Found a stainless steel bezel that fits the KT-1 head but can't recall who made it or when?

Much thanks for your expertise and assistance!!

Big Aloha, D

The bi-pin arrangement is almost certainly from Tad Customs. He stopped producing and selling his stuff a few years back but you might be able to find some on the used market. That holder in particular probably shouldn't be pushed much above 20 watts otherwise the contacts have a tendency to oxidize, in case you ever wanna try it with a different G4 bulb. The bulb you have was the MN7225 (7.2 V, 2.5 A). It's a pure xenon atmosphere lamp without any halogen additions, so the walls do darken with time, but slowly. I have a few but I'm currently enjoying them too well to want to part with any just yet.

Below are pics of mine for reference/comparison. You'll notice that they come with no end frosting at all, I just added that as a little experiment to the one I'm using right now.
