I spent hours trying all sorts of positions for the hieght of the bulb and the interior colour of the lamp housing, silver, white, etc. I remember reading about an alternative head they made which housed four bulbs, instead of just one. Immediately after selling the enlarger, I found one of those heads, but they're quite scarce, I've not seen one since!

Does anyone know the brightest bulb I can use in this enlarger. Also, a newbie question, can the bulb be too bright? Does this make sense to anyone? Let me know. Thanks egabe@earthlink.net
