audience blinders

[melkin]

Hey guys.

 

Does anybody know where the best place is to buy some 4 spot audience blinders from. I think they're Par 36 lamps. Just wandered if anyone knew where to get from and roughly how much they are likely to cost.

 

Thanks in advance for any response

I recommend AC. If you're up for wiring yourself then that's usually the cheapest option. Not particularly difficult - two pairs of lamps in series. Lamps are P36 650W 120v DWE.

 

Alternatively there's Thomann. Those Stairville ones look ugly though!

I think Used lighting has or had some unwired ones.

If your not in a hurry, then they pop up on e bay regularly,

And are usually pretty cheap.

Other wise you can use those 500w halogen flood lights,

there usually quite cheap.

Try here: http://www.highlite.nl/highlite/silver.eco...g/stageblinders

They have a UK office that should do a bit of a discount.

 

Or here: http://www.tmb.com

 

As suggested, Thomann are also a good bet.

You also have to remember that the 500W halogens are now 400W are not quite as good

More info Please!!!

 

I allwase knew that you could get 500/300/200w lamps for the standard 500w QI flood and you could get 150/100w lamps for the 150w QI's .

 

And I used to and still do have bars of 4x 500w floods pre rigged for Cheap blinders r when I dont have enough DWE ones and for general outdoor lighting

The 400w halogen lamps are only fairly new at least here in Australia,

Mostly they are 500w, and no there not as bright as the DWEs, but they are a budget alternative.

Readily available,cheap and effective anough.

But when power is no objective you can have 6x as many QI's as proper DWE Blinders. but then again the Quality of light that comes out of a DWE is much better. so depends on what kind of budget the client is on.

 

But whats with the 400w?? On all the packaging the 500w is also a Halogen so what the benifit of dropping the wattage down to 400? I thought thats what the point of the different wattage bulbs were for.
