Kodak Carousel Projectors use 3 families of projector bulbs:

Earlier Carousel Projectors - the Carousel 500, Carousel 550, and the models from 600 to 850 that do not end with an "H" - use either a DEK bulb or a CBA. The DEK looks like an old radio tube. Click on the bulb name for a direct ordering link.

Middle series Carousel Projectors - the Carousel 600-H,  to 860-H with model numbers that end with an "H" - use an ELH. The ELH looks like radar reflector. Click on the bulb name for a direct ordering link.

The final series of Kodak Carousel projectors - models 4000, 4200, 4400, 4600, 5200, 5600 - use an FHS bulb. This is an 82 volt bulb that looks like radar reflector. Click on the bulb name for a direct ordering link.

Sawyers slide projectors made for US distribution can all use the DAY/DAK/DAT series of bulbs, which look like an old radio tube. Sawyers also made projectors under the Nikkormat and Miranda name.

The DAY/DAK bulb is 500 watts and the DAT/DAK is 400 watts. Since these projectors are all pretty old now, and the fans may not be cooling as well as when they were new, I suggest the DAT/DAK variation.

Those same projectors can also use a quartz-halogen bulb which burns longer and stays brighter during its life, but costs more. That's the DYY/EGH bulb. It has the same base

Other Projection bulbs: We stock over 140 models, even many that are no longer in production.

The 3-letter code is a unique and complete description of a bulb. Any manufacturer's FHS bulb will replace any other manufacturer's FHS bulb. We stock mostly WIKO/EIKO brand because they fill orders better than anyone else! If you already know the 3-letter code you can order on line.

Note that we stock a lot of bulbs and you can either page through the alphabetical listing or use the search box:

 If you don't know the 3-letter code, email us or call 803 641-0501 and be ready with this information::

A) the 3 letter code (DAY, ELH, CDX, and so forth) or

Most of our bulbs are available using our automated shopping cart system. 

Kodak doesn't make slide trays for Carousel projectors any more. We hunt down used Carousel 140 and Carousel 80 trays so you don't have to.

Kodak gave up that business too soon. There are still consumers who want and need Carousel slide trays, so we try to keep good used ones in stock.

We also try to maintain a stock of trays for other projectors.

Here's how to order:
