Steve Cavill Posted March 19, 2008 Share Posted March 19, 2008 A Robe dealer may be able to help with this. Alternatively, you could try AC Lighting in Leeds or High Wycombe...01132557666 or 01494446000 respectively Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KevinE Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 Just to be clear it seems you need a PFC Capacitor? This is not the same as the ignitor or the ballast. The usual sources such as Farnell, CPC and RS do indeed do these at great prices but make sure it's rated for continuous use at the rated temperature of the enclosure and that an equivalent will actually fit physically! Note that some ignitors are built in very similar cases to PFC capacitors. The Capacitor is almost always in the base of a moving head with the ignitor in the head. Moving mirrors of course it'll be anywhere. http://img.diytrade.com/cdimg/377701/1921957/5/1140676852.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
