New used Beseler 67s Enlarger

[hfb]

Just got it with a bad projector lamp, EVW 250Watt, 82V. Bought a new one installed and working.
My question, why is it called 82V when it is used in a 115vac circuit? There is a stabilized power supply available for it but I think it supplys 115vac also. Any comments?

It has an internal step down transformer or circuit to 82 volts. Many bulbs for projection type devices use 82v lamps. It allows using a thicker filament that lasts longer and gives a more neutral color light.
