I just bought this on ebay and it should be in in about 1 week. I'd like to buy a couple of spare bulbs before it gets here and the person I bought it off of doesn't know much about it. I've read a couple of posts about the 305sd but can't find any web page that tells me what bulb it takes. I've called 3 different bulb companies and they've never heard of it. Does anyone have one of these and could you point me at the best (and least expensive) place to get these bulbs.

Thanks

Tim

The bulb for elmo is available for $37. It has been tested and works on the elmo. It is called HMI 575W lamp.

The bulb is cheap because it is imported from China. However,its minimum life is 400 hours. Actual/ maximum life is not known. Another link
