[LM_NET] HIT: A/V bulbs

[Sherri Pogue <sherri_pogue@FHSD.K12.MO.US>]

Despite my desire to not waste perfectly good items and to not fill up
land-fills, getting rid of old A/V lamps is not easy and I may just give
in and throw them out.  Obviously many of you have the same problem as I
received several requests for anything I learn.  First, I'm listing the
bulbs I have available.  Contact me if you could use any of them:  BAK
(8), CWA (2), DYR (5), ELE (2), ENZ (2) & FML (12).  Payment for shipping
would be sufficient.

Kate Cronn suggested Vantage Lighting. (I found them on the
Internet--1-800-445-2677) They will take lamps for a credit toward new
ones.  Unfortunately, their prices for new ones are quite a bit higher
than what I can get them for through our area Co-op.  But that may work
for some of you.

Also suggested:

Topbulb (http://www.topbulb.com) used to buy them back for their export
market. Don't know if they still do.

Another possibility would be to prepare a list that you can email those
who are in need and try to do your own matching.

What I did, since I really can't even give them away, I told my staff to
go home, theirs and relatives, and write down all the different kinds of
bulbs their carousel projectors and whatevers out there needed.  Then
come back and go through the cabinet to see if they were lucky.  (I'd
previously moved the ones we needed to maintain to another spot.)

Didn't seem like many left, but at least those that did went to good
homes.
