dave1022 Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I was just wondering if there's a website or maybe even a book that has a data sheet (ie. expected working life, watt rating and type of bulb etc.) on the different bulbs that can be used in theatre lights?

musht Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 I was just wondering if there's a website or maybe even a book that has a data sheet (ie. expected working life, watt rating and type of bulb etc.) on the different bulbs that can be used in theatre lights? Regards,David Head off the pedants, bulb is a term used by people outside lighting industry, it is more normal to refer to lamps in professional lighting. All the big lamp makers have sections on `stage and studio `lamps, as well as GE look at Osram Sylvania and Phillips.

charl.ie Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 As a side note, it would probably be useful to have an "average rated hours" bit in that table. Would someone with more wiki-fu than me like to edit it into the table? (I'll happily begin to fill it out in the individual lamp pages at some point) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pritch Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 They'd be listed under Halogen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bit more in depth on the hows: http://members.misty.com/don http://www.lamptech.co.uk OK heres some more pedantry, just for funThe term bulb originated with the invention of the electric light and refers to the shape of the glass envelope on the original lamps, so strictly speaking it's OK to use the term bulb (some people call them bubbles), but most halogens are best refered to as lamps due to the fact that the envelope is actually a sealed tube of quartz glass :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbuckley Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 On the GE website (mentioned above) there is a fabulous lamp catalogue listing all their theatrical lamps, with much detail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boatman Posted November 30, 2009 Share Posted November 30, 2009 On the GE website (mentioned above) there is a fabulous lamp catalogue listing all their theatrical lamps, with much detail. So, a Lamp Data Table? We are going round in circles here. The Lamp Data Table is not editable by a lowly user such as myself. Please could a moderator or other higher being add the following link to that page so that it may be found easily. http://www.gelighting.com/na/business_ligh...stagestudio.pdf Yours in anticipation, :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KevinE Posted December 1, 2009 Share Posted December 1, 2009 If you speak to a wholesaler like Newey and Eyre, WF Electrical or similar, they often have these mini-catalogue cum tables available in the branch, a useful source of information. On the bulb vs lamp diversion, I call them bulbs, all the more so if someone who calls them lamps tells me off for calling them bulbs! :D Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peternewman Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 As a side note, it would probably be useful to have an "average rated hours" bit in that table. Would someone with more wiki-fu than me like to edit it into the table? (I'll happily begin to fill it out in the individual lamp pages at some point)I've added the field into the Lamp template and filled in a couple that were in the other topic boatman linked to. If you want to add any more, just edit them into the lamp pages themselves (the first column of the table is links to those pages), then contact myself or one of the other admin and we'll regenerate the table, which will pull all the data from each lamp page (including any new hours you've added) and format it nicely into the table again! Don't bother editing the table itself, as all your hard work will just get overwritten next time we regenerate it. Hopefully that makes sense... We are going round in circles here. The Lamp Data Table is not editable by a lowly user such as myself. Please could a moderator or other higher being add the following link to that page so that it may be found easily.Done, you should be able to edit the page itself as far as I can see, just don't go editing the contents of the table (see above for why).
