ddproduction Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi All, I have a handful of par64 cans (t37 bulbs) and all but one of the reflectors are smooth (as in these) - but one of them is sort of pitted (not sure of the technical term here!). Does anyone know any suppliers of these 'pitted' variations and what keywords I should be searching for? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IRW Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 Hi All, I have a handful of par64 cans (t37 bulbs) and all but one of the reflectors are smooth (as in these) - but one of them is sort of pitted (not sure of the technical term here!). Does anyone know any suppliers of these 'pitted' variations and what keywords I should be searching for? :) I believe the term you want is 'Raylight reflectors'. We had some at the school I used to go to. Absolutely rubbish in terms of quality of light output I thought! (Although maybe we had the wrong lamps?!) Could you replace them with 'proper' parcan lamps? (CP61/62/63) Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ddproduction Posted March 30, 2011 Author Share Posted March 30, 2011 Well I would LIKE to get proper PAR lamps, but I only use them for disco-ish stuff so the cost in comparison to likelihood of me breaking them... :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biskit Posted April 4, 2011 Share Posted April 4, 2011 Could you replace them with 'proper' parcan lamps? (CP61/62/63)Think you probably mean CP60/61/62/95... a CP63 is not a PAR lamp! (/pedant) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phill.Beynon Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 A 'proper' PAR lamp will be a lot more resilient to being dropped than whatever you're putting in your raylight reflector at the moment. Something like a CP88 will give you a wide-angle beam at 500w, so roughly equivalent power-wise to the raylight lamp. You should be able to get these from any stage lighting shop. A CP62 will give you the same beam angle at 1000w. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Allen Posted April 11, 2011 Share Posted April 11, 2011 A ray light is a particular effect or look and does not used the PAR sealed beam effect. The original ray light used a faceted reflector. Try that term. It is the term used to describe the reflector in the later versions of the Strand Patt23 profile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
