Hi guys
Six months ago, I bought a second-hand DR 10W HID cannister light. From looking at the DR website, it appears to be MR11 Sunspot HID Slimline Light (based on appearance, and dimensions of cannister).

The last few dives, the light has appeared really weak - to the point where I was unable to use it for signalling, and my buddy's LED light was all I could see. Not right! The light doesn't seem to flicker, and it powers up OK (the usual blue/orange flicker when warming up) - so I don't think it's the cable. I tried my buddies cannister on my light head - and it's definitely the light, not the battery.
So would the next guess be the bulb? I guess the light is 3-4 years old, since it was discontinued in 2008.
So, unless someone has a better suggestion, I suppose the next thing is to get a replacement bulb, and see if that works? I don't want to send it back to DR, since (a) I'm in Australia, and this will take a long time and expense, and (b) I'm not the original purchaser of the light.
So... where can I get a bulb for this light?
Thanks for your advice etc,
Simon
Edit: updated model after more research
