Cheaper bulbs are probably coming from China too.

See if Philips or Osram do 55W lamps.  They're the biggest OEM suppliers.

They were £300 a few years back, but ouch!  I suppose quality (and a Dutch Badge) costs..... >:(

No wonder the chinese get a foothold in markets such as these....the price differential is far too much for me i'm afraid

Thanks for the offer...I know I hijacked your thread ....sorry

I've gone for a cheap set of bulbs. Only time will tell if it was foolish and I come back for some ballasts as suggested by your good self
