I found an online shop in Europe (Switzerland) which sells home and ironmongery stuff, amongst which was an original bulb for Zeiss microscopes (25W / 6V) at around 20Eur. My previous searches on ebay were from US at 40-50Eur plus shipping plus taxes. I am not sure if Eu countries have to pay Vat from Switzerland... but I wanted to share this with you. They have bulbs for other Zeiss models.

Unfortunately this website is not letting me pay the order, some issue with the credit card... and I wonder if it is scam.

I found halogen bulbs 6V 25 or 30W from amazon.com from US but the delivery is a phenomenal 50-60USD for such a small item. Strangely enough, nothing found on ebay.co.uk. Hence I ask if there are online store who specialises on microscope bulbs: REPLACEMENT BULB FOR CARL ZEISS AXIOLAB HALOGEN, AXIOLAB A, AXIOTECH 25 25W 6V

Thanks

Do you have the Zeiss designation for it?

GUYS CAREFUL - ITVINAS ONLINE SHOPPING IS FRAUDULENT


Sorry for suggesting that shop but I found that I paid my ordered and not delivered. On further research, I found on a fraudulent website watcher that this shop is listed as possible fraud
and it seems I just gave them 50 Euros! I am applying for chargeback!

Yes and I can solder too, but the rating is 6V 25W while that store only sells 6V 20W Osram. Any other option please?

From another online shop, it costs 75 GBP - WHYYYYY!!!!! In US it is 8GBP

Now this looks to be good option

Finally, I found this!

Just out of curiosity ... Does anyone understand why the Axiolab lamp is listed as 25W when the actual bulb illustrated is clearly marked 30W
