Default Bulb for enlarger

The bulb of my enlarger just blew up. Ruby and Cathay Photo don't have it. Where else can I try?

The bulb is: esj 85w 82v.
The enlarger is a meopta with color head.

thanks for any advice.

Are you sure it is a 82V bulb? I have bought a 100W, 220V bulb from Ruby

yes, I'm sure it's a 82v. The enlarger has an internal transformer. I wouldn't mind a different wattage (higher). I guess it would make it brighter, which I can control easily just by stopping down the lens. A different voltage, I don't think it's a good idea.

thanks for the advice on sim lim, I will check out tomorrow. Else, from adorama or B&H. That means to pay US$ 20 for the bulb and US$ 39 for the shipment...
