I am a little surprised that the list price is so high. I doubt Kaiser makes
this lamp (I'm guessing Osram). For comparison, the lamp for the Thomas
safelight is available for $80 from the big NY retailers, so I'm sure its list
price must be well under $228. I doubt that, even with discounting, I could
get a spare for my Duka for anywhere near that.

Perhaps if spare lamps for the Duka50 were less expensive more people
might actually purchase this fine safelight, or try to keep theirs going
after the original lamp fails.

I realize you don't necessarily have a say in the list price...
