My DL-1 illuminator fo the Nikon F or F2 needed a new bulb. I was able source these and have extras.

If you need these, $5/ea covers PayPal and cost of shipping anywhere in CONUS.

Ok. Let me get hold of a friend in the US to buy it for me. In the meantime, can you send me some photos of the bulb?

These are about right for normal DL-1 use ... at least to my eye. I never had a working DL-1 with a Nikon provided bulb so I'm not too sure what "bright enough" is supposed to be. I will say that if you insert a 3V button battery in the DL-1's battery compartment, you will get a noticeably brighter light, though it might come at the expense of bulb life since you are over-voltaging the bulb.


The $5 selling cost is for a single bulb. Every bulb after the 1st one is an additional $3 in case you want "backups".

Price is net to me, and like I said, US destinations only.

Thanks.

Ok. Cool. I will take 5 pieces off your hands (if you have that quantity). Please be patient as I think about who in the US can help me with this.
