I have a nimh arc with a blown bulb that i inherited from a friend and was planning on getting a direct replacement but my LBS was quoted $150 for the bulb alone. Are there any alternatives? The difficulty seems to be that the arc uses a standarc solarc ballast but due to the separate reflector uses a non standard bulb?
Thanks for the links homebrew, so is this the same ballast that they use in the Li-ion version or is this different? i was thinking i might use a 11.1v li-ion pack i have lying around depending on how long the nimh pack lasts.

It's the same ballast for both NiMH and Li-Ion although I don't know if L&M add any additional regulation within the Li-Ion battery (maybe included in the protection circuit?). Here's the datasheet with all the info:
It more sort of pops off but its a *****!! I have a second arc thats not broken and im too scared to exert enough force to get it off its that tight!! I dont really want to replace 2 bulbs!!
No, it's not. L&M is using the W/A bulb without reflector adding a custom L&M reflector. TrailTech is using the W/A bulb with built-in reflector. Again, see the datasheet referenced above for more info.
