peter Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 Does anyone know a hire company who stock a 15kW strobe in the UK? We need one soon. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomLyall Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 erm, can I ask why you need such a big strobe? and am I right in thinking it would require something to the tune of a 63a supply? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peter Posted March 2, 2004 Author Share Posted March 2, 2004 Its not my lighting design this time - merely helping a fellow student... He wants a 15kW strobe with a sheet of UV glass in front, to produce a strobing UV effect. I imagine that it would probably need a very large supply, yes. Bearing in mind power on surges, we might even be looking at more than 63A. Anyone with any info? I've found a 10kW flicker unit from Lee (lighting, not filters), but I think they really want a strobe rather than a flicker. Also, does anyone know where we can get UV glass from?

Ike Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 I believe enliten (part of the White Light group) sell UV 'woods' glass. I have seen a similar effect done before with a couple of 5K strobes and it worked well. Don't know where to hire 15K units though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ike Posted March 2, 2004 Share Posted March 2, 2004 On the subject of power you tend to get away with relatively thin cable but you will need relatively slow overcurrent protection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
