revbobuk Posted April 21, 2012 Share Posted April 21, 2012 Guys - sorry this is a bit more architectural than theatrical - can anyone identify this fitting (or point me to something similar?) Looked like a PAR38 lamp. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 It looks like a d0m3st1c fitting made to look like a theatrical lamp. It might be worth having a look around the DIY sheds (B&Q, Wickes, Homebase,Screwfix,etc) to see if they have anything suitable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
revbobuk Posted April 22, 2012 Author Share Posted April 22, 2012 Done those, and couldn't identify anything similar. I doubt if it's domestic - this is a very posh venue, with a lot of money thrown at it, and everything else in the venue looks as if the architect chose it carefully. So I suspect that there's an 'architect's catalogue' somewhere with this kind of thing in - I just don't know where! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ramdram Posted April 22, 2012 Share Posted April 22, 2012 Said fitting had to be made somewhere by someone. Ergo you could start by trundling around to your wholesale electrical outlet and asking them taking a picture with you. I would posit that if anyone would know it would be them, or, know a rep who does... after all they are in the business to sell stuff. Or...if you know the venue then you will find someone who could reveal the builders...who in turn could unmask the architect or the contractors who did the first and second fix...possibly. Or, the specialist contractor who did the install. Presumably there is a warranty type contract in place??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Does it have to be an exact match? Commercial fittings tend to come and go. If the install is of any age you might struggle to find a match. Knowing the lamp type will help find the fitting. Use Google images with something like "PARxx spotlight barndoors" and you'll see some examples where xx is 20, 30, 36 or 38 (and maybe even qr111).

IRW Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 How old is the building? I know my old venue, which was built in 2003 came with four rather hefty operations and maintenance manuals, one of which had details of all fixtures and fittings used, from carpets in the foyer to the tiles on the outside of the building!

fireball40k Posted April 23, 2012 Share Posted April 23, 2012 Is there any chance you could unscrew one and have a look under the base? If it's a decent fitting, it could have the manufacturer's or the distributor's name on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
