Odd Sized Gel Frame

[Brian]

I'm trying to track down some gel frames for some Coemar (aka Teatro) 500W cyc lights. They are 245mm x 170mm. Any ideas of any units which use this size frame?

Hi Brian,

 

Do you mean the Sequenza, which I do believe was an originally designed teatro fixture? The company I work for (Pearce Hire) have these fixtures is stock, but we don't have any spares (and up until now have not lost any!). On the page I have linked to there is a part code for the colour frame (5084), hopefully this is of some help, to you or your suppliers.

 

Cheers

EDIT: On second thoughts after looking at the datasheet, and the sizes you gave, I'm not sure this is the fixture you are talking about.

Hi Dan

 

the frame for the Sequenza looks a lot squarer than the units I have which are, IIRC, called Rigas?

I use steel strapping that comes in a roll, used to be used a lot for pallet straps, to make colour frames. I spot weld the corners and spot weld small hinges to the rectangles. The steel strapping is spring steel so can bend to fit in Coda's etc. I make up a wooden jig to get them square.

It's only worth doing for those hard to get colour frames and if you have easy access to a spot welder.

Just in case anyone has the same need as I did, the frames are still available and are for the Ribaltina cyc unit made by Spotlight in Italy. Spares from AC Lighting
