Lupine Edison Bike Light

[Dangerboy]

So I was given a Lupin Edison Bike light that retails for over $600. Problem is the bulb is blown. I've downloaded the manual and it states that I shouldn't attempt to change the bulb myself.

 

Firstly, the bulb is $40-50. Does anyone know a stockist in Cape Town (or SA?)

 

Secondly, has anyone tried to replace the bulb themselves? Is it worth a go?

 

Thanks

HID... old tech, you'll battle to find parts locally, and it's expensive because the bulb and ballast are sold together. Try ebay...

 

Not sure about the mechanics of swapping out the bulb, but if you can get the old one out it shouldn't be a problem to fit a new one. Just don't touch the bulb with anything oily - like your fingers - and don't subject the bulb to any kind of shock.
