What makes these different then the 1000's and can the bulb be changed?

Im not 100% but I think the 1000 series are a bit larger and have a different beam pattern. Yes, the bulb can be changed, it is H3 in the 500's. I swapped mine for 100W over the 55W they came with. Be sure to wear clean rubber gloved to change bulbs. Avoid touching the bulb glass at all costs or it wont last long!

They are budget soft boxes, let us be clear on that. One of my first adjustments was adding 1 100w incandescent bulb to the mix for color balance. And that works fine. So my assumption is that you can replace the bulbs with whatever you feel like so long as your circuit can handle it.

This is a replacement for an 1142, Double contact. I believe the 1004 is a single contact, but I could be wrong.The Kelvin level of this bulb is much higher than the 1142 incandescence, which is more yellow, and more pleasing.I find the Kelvin level uncomfortable for major lighting areas, but use it in utilities areas where the "on" time is very short.Also, the output in candle power seems to be less than an 1142.Good luck

No they will not be the same. I tried to convert them it did not work. They are halogen.

Hi Jacquelyn these bulbs are really ease to change they have those led mini bulbs in them and you just pull it out and replace with another bulb, and stick it back into the hole and your are back on line, I think that you will not have much trouble with changing these bulbs out. I hope this helps your decision on purchasing these lights because my husband really likes them. Millissa

I am so confused about the types of bulbs they sell I can"t give you an answer. The one I got was the wrong one. At least they didn't as for me to return the bulb. They just sent the refund.

Check out high def forum or Google search using model number and size. I don't think its hard to do however I would stay away from bulbs non OEM as fires can occur using cheap Chinese copies.

As far as I know, they didn't change the bulb type from the '12 to '13 model. You are good to go.

The headlight bulbs are, I believe they use an "H1" bulb and each bulb has it's own separate adjustment. Not sure about the LED's, though I am sure they are replaceable as well

I am not sure what you mean by a a "drop in 1000lm bulb" - I have never heard of such a thing. The LED on this flash light is integrated on a circuit board ; so the answer is probably not.

Yes, different bulb. Should consider a harness with direct wiring to battery and relay. This will eliminate flicker.

The bulb itself say 50/100/150. Because they are 3 way bulbs so if you want them to be 3 way then make sure your bulb reads all 3 numbers on the actual bulb

I am guessing that you cannot replace the bulbs since they have such a long life. I would email the manufacturer though.

There is specs in the user manual. This is replacement bulb for a conversion kit, which was an upgrade for halogen lights. If you don't have a set of working "ballast", you'll need to get conversion kit with fitted bulbs. (A conversion kit includes a pair of ballasts and bulbs, so if h11 is the one, look for xenon conversion kit h11. And the thousand K is for the color of the light)

Thank you for the information, I always go by "if it doesn't say that it is, then it's not". How much height do they add to the bulb? Are you happy with the adaption?

You can change it, you can even replace it with HID type bulbs. H3 I believe is the type.

I don't know if they changed the design (I bought mine a year ago), but I got all the information I needed about the bulb type to use from the paperwork that came in the package. Mine took a screw-in bulb. I'd read all the paperwork, then start looking for a phone number if that didn't answer your question.
