    The DFN-DFC lamp is one of the most widely used lamps found in vintage movie film projectors. Some of the best quality 8mm and Super8 projectors ever made, especially those by Bell & Howell and Sears used DFN-DFC lamps. The last few years the DFN-DFC lamp has become increasingly hard to get, and the prices have skyrocketed. We have come up with a more reliable, much lower cost solution. With just a few tools, you can replace that Bat Crap Crazy Expensive DFN-DFC lamp with our easy to install DFN-DFC replacement lamp module!!! IF YOU CAN DRILL 2 HOLES, STRIP AND WIRE-NUT 2 WIRES YOU CAN SAVE $$$$ BIG TIME!!! This module will fit on all DFN-DFC projectors we know of, including all vintage Bell & Howell, Kodak, and Sears models. The module comes with a simple set of instructions and 3 minute DVD to guide you through. It can be done in 10-15 minutes. The tools required are hammer, punch, drill, wire strippers, screw / nut drive. The kit comes with housing, lamp, screws, wire nuts, instruction sheet, and DVD. Once the lamp housing is installed, and should the lamp ever need to be replaced, it simply pops out with a gentle pull on the lamp housing lever. These lamps can be found here in the DFN-DFC lamp listings or in our store. The cost is just 25.00. So you can see the savings is significant! This way too, you can keep using the old family projector! This lamp is the same wattage(150) and voltage(120) as the DFN-DFC so it is fully compatible. Designed in the mid 1960s, the MR16 type lamp is a far less expensive lamp to produce than the 20 year older designed DFN-DFC with its internal reflector, and it last longer because it cools better. It is therefore much more reliable as well. In fact, the MR16 halogen lamps are still in wide use in today's latest video projector models.
