US customers please note: Although the vast majority of the goods listed for sale on this website should be duty free into the USA under the terms of the CUSMA/USMCA Free Trade Agreement between USA and Canada. It is, at his time, impossible to ship any goods to the USA without prepayment of the 35% IEEPA tariff (plus handling fees). As such, I have no choice but to add a 40% fee to the cost of goods, to cover the US government imposed tariffs.

All customers please be aware that the automatic shipping calculator is currently having difficulties. If at checkout you get an error or cannot select a shipping method & cost, you can proceed to checkout selectong the "Other" shipping option. I will then manually calculate and advise you of the shipping options before finalizing your order.

Lamp Socket for Omega Chromega D and E Dichroic Colorheads

The Super Chromega D and E Dichroic colorheads are well known to be reliable workhorses. But to keep them working properly, they do require periodic maintenance, and there are a few parts which require replacement occasionally. One of those is the lamp socket. The fact is that the OEM socket is not a very good design. Electrical contact is from a flat metal strip pressing against the round contact pin on the lamp. With such a small contact area, it's easy for resistance and heat to build until the contacts become scorched.

Next time you remove the lamp from the socket, examine the contact pins on the lamp. If they're badly discolored, or burned and pitted, the contacts in the socket will be as well. It's time to replace the socket.

Even though they look very similar externally, these replacement sockets are a much better design than the original Omega sockets. They have two curved contacts for each lamp pin, providing much greater contact area, and a separate pressure spring to ensure positive contact. This results in less resistance and heat, resulting in greater reliability. Installation requires no modification - they are a straight replacement for the OEM sockets. Installation instructions are included.
