Cibie Oscar Globe Sizes?

I've been using 100w H1 globes in my Oscars (not Super Oscars) for many years without any problems. Of course they are run thru a relay with good fat wire to the lights.

hi shaker,
i use the geniune cibie 100w bulbs in our super oscers, i have been told that any larger wattage will burn the reflectors . the cibie bulbs have been in for about 9 years now and i have never had to replace one. can't complain about that.

regards johno.

Since replying to you, I worked out I've had my Oscars since 1975. I've been using 100w globes all that time. And yes, they do get used- often. The Oscars are the only items I've transferred from car to car over that time. ( I got rid of the Nodding Dog and the Fluffy Dice a few cars ago). They are the metal body ones- Are they still metal, or gone plastic??

I was running 4 Super Oscars on my 60 for, geeez I think about 7 years, two Pencils and two spreads, during which time I clocked a lot of K's, about 300K Kms whilst on walkabout around this great land. Many years back I picked up a set of 140w globes for all 4, and have just bolted the two Spreads to my new 100. Still going strong. This investment has saved me from many bumps in the night and then, have collected a couple also. One year I collect a BIG red at around 120k. The impact was enough to pop the centers out of the two center floods, put a nice war wound in the ARB Bullbar luckily landing right at the winch, and scare the missus and kids into deep depression, just bolted em back in ( the lights that is), and away we went.

Love em and wouldn't own anythig else, in my humble opinion.
