Can anyone tell me what lamp I should buy for this lantern? thanks, Zulu.A quick photo of the lamp holder should be able to confirm, but I would say a T19. Most 1Kw fresnels will use the same lamp holder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can anyone tell me what lamp I should buy for this lantern? thanks, Zulu. T19 is a theatre lamp GX9.5 base, whereas the Lee is a Film/TV head, using a G22 base, so a CP71 will be what you are looking for.

Neil Hampson Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 forgot about TV-landZulu, you may need to check the lamp holder, Hence the request for a photo, Lee is indeed more associated with TV / Studio lighting and there is a higher probability that it will be a CP71 rather than a T19. I have used Lee-Colourtran fresnels that have been T19's, however whether these were ex-TV conversions I would never know, the damm things are gathering dust in a church hall rig. A Gx9,5 holder has slim pins, 1 3mm and the other 2mm thick, spaced about 10mm apart. (same as a Cantata)A G22 holder is much bigger, the pins are both the same about 6 mm thick, spaced at about 20mm (Sometimes called a Medium Bi-Post) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardFoster Posted February 19, 2009 Share Posted February 19, 2009 The Lee Colortran series of 1Kw / 1.2Kw theatre lights was called the Windsor range. They take T11/19s for 1K and most if not all also take T29 1.2K lamps. The lamp base height will be adjustable - by selecting the correct height slot to hold it I think - if they'll take T29s. If you don't have a choice of lamp base heights then you can only use 1K lamps. Check that the reflector isn't bending toward the lamp as I've found Windsor fresnels with the reflectors melted around the lamps in the past!

Zulu Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 Thanks for the input, folks. I tried adding photos, but can't work this machine properly ! Anyway, by the description from Neil, I believe I have a G22 base. So the CP71 seems to be the lamp for me. Many thanks, Zulu. (How do you insert images?
