Subject: AUL14 bulbs
I needed replacement bulbs for my Spectrum 14 recently, and someone
suggested I contact PSC Lamps.  I did, and they were extremely helpful.
They've changed their name to "Bulb Direct", and have a web site that
may be of some use in finding what you need (www.bulbdirect.com).

Regarding the Spectrum 14, I am told that the correct bulb to use is
the BRL, and with that code the Bulb Direct person was able to tell
me some additional info, including...

  product code - BRL
  12V, 50W
  3400 degK color temp
  rated for 50 hours
  G6.35 base (defines the shape of the pins)

Bulbs to fit this spec are available from multiple manufacturers
(GE, Philips, Osram, Ushio, maybe others).  Has anybody taken the 
time to test these to know which is best?  How close is the 50hr
rating to reality?

They sold Philips at $5.55 each + $4.75 shipping.  There's a price
break for 12 or more, at $5.00 each.

- Todd
