I just checked my MG500 head and the lamps fitted are ELH (300w/120v).

As Ian says, the dichroic filters are not part of the lamp, but part of the lamp holder insider the head.

Could you put the negs into their sleeves and put them in a heavy book or over a warm radiator to let the base flatten out?
