  1. I've used them several times for unusual or hard to get lamps (pre Brexit). Some of their lines have long lead times (I suspect some of their lamps are made in small batches at irregular intervals), but I was always advised what that lead time would be. No problems with the actual lamps or shipping. Wouldn't hesitate to use them again for lamps I couldn't find in the UK, although I suspect post brexit shipping and Vat / Duty may be more complicated.
  2. I think it's fair to say it's an old product after all it was released in the last millennium, and there are still manuals etc available on their website. Last firmware version appears to be version 2.2, with the last manual revision being D.
  3. Is it repairable - probably Could you find a company who could do it and certify it so everyone's insurance companies were happy with the result at less than the cost of a replacement (even for a custom part) - probably not I'd just buy a replacement (and I have a specialist welder on my team certified for for structural work)
  4. I believe Holophane didn't resume production of theatre lighting after the war, although last time I checked they were still producing industrial lighting. I think Blackburn and Starling only ever produced control gear (and still are but again not for theatre).
  5. Not Patt 49 9of any type) as they don't have the chimney.
  6. Unless you have a huge budget AND what you use them for has dramatically changed, why not keep & cherish them until you can no longer buy spare bulbs? By then it is just possible that there might be affordable LED equivalents with a lifetime of even a tiny fraction of that of a decent halogen Fresnel. We all talk about the availability of bulbs, what about gel? Until about 6 months ago it seemed the choice in gel always seemed to be getting bigger, Lee have discontinued one range, some colours in their standard range have been discontinued and my supplier says that some whilst on the Lee's list are not currently available until (if) they make some more. Obviously other ranges / suppliers are available but I can only see colour choice going down.
  7. If you are lucky enough to have LED profiles - just use card in your laser cutter - simples
  8. Hi, Wanted for a project, Strand effect projector (Patt 51 / 52 / 252 etc) slide equipment i.e. F150 Turntable front and Slide carrier F154 Turntable front F156 Universal Slide carrier Please message me if you have any surplus. Thanks Shane
  9. Could be worse - could be PVA - don't ask how I know.
  10. Yes, a very early version. Some other CCT lanterns of the period were constructed similarly, for instance the Halostar 1KW Discharge effects projector. I'm guessing but I suspect the 400W Halostar Effects projector was similar, but they only made 2 of those!
