Does anyone know which bulbs belong in a Kodak 8x10 contact printer? They must be 50w or less each.

I've only seen those things in pictures. What it looks like is 15 watt bulbs in some of them and others look like 25 watt bulbs. I would start out at the low end. You can alwways go bigger if needed. Most of them have a red bulb in there, too. From the looks of it, it would be in the 10 to 15 watt range. I guess the determining factor would be how many bulbs there are in there. I never could figure out the reason for a red bulb in a contact printer, either.
