Title: Looking for a Solux Compatible Desklamp
Post by: Robert Boire on September 20, 2023, 03:27:32 pm

Hello,

I am have been using an Eiko desklamp for years that I originally purchased from Solux along with a number MR16 4700k bulbs.  I stocked up on a couple of replacement bulbs before Solux went out of business. Alas, the desklamp seems to have failed (the lamp, not the bulb). I am hoping to find a replacement so I can continue to use the bulbs. Searches on the internet have turned up nothing so far.

Any suggestions? I am also open to fixing the desklamp if I knew how.

Please!

Any MR16 lamp should work.

Well, yes exactly. The problem is actually finding a lamp that is compatible with a bi-pin, MR 16. With everything LED' they are difficult to find.

All kinds of MR16 track fixtures on eBay (and Amazon).

you can use gu10 to MR16 adapter - they're common and inexpensive
