Hello! excellent explanation . Thank you very much! I have a question : could you tell me where I can buy the replacement lamp ? I already tried searching online but can not find anywhere that sells it. Thank you very much , greetings !
I need a bulb, no one can tell where you can find a bulb, and it says no parts needed. that's stupid since you need a replacement bulb that you can't find. without it all this is useless.
