James Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Hi, I have started rumaging about for some replacement CP28 lamps and I'm having problems finding them. Does anyone have a source or substitute for these old lamps? James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxism Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Been a year or two since I had to buy any but AC Lighting used to stock them, similarly with White Light. AC still have them listed but the lists are dated from 1997. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
James Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 I'm afraid my problem comes about beccause White Light can't get them anymore. I've seen the list from AC Thanks though James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paradoxism Posted February 21, 2005 Share Posted February 21, 2005 Oh well - sorry bout that, If you find any can you post back as we have a Patt 293 Followspot and only one spare at the moment so a stockist would be useful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

James Posted February 21, 2005 Author Share Posted February 21, 2005 Well I'm down to raiding lamps out of Patt 252s to get a spare for my Patt 293 followspot. When I find out I will let you know. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
milky Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Well I'm down to raiding lamps out of Patt 252s to get a spare for my Patt 293 followspot. When I find out I will let you know. James<{POST_SNAPBACK}> CP28? Don't think I've ever come across one! I've always used CP53/CP74 in my patt 293! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulears Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 I agree with milky - I've just checked and my junk 293 has Philips CP53 2K in it - P40 base Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmaster Dwarf Posted March 25, 2005 Share Posted March 25, 2005 Being a bit of an obsolete lamp geek I thought that this may be of interest. Manufacturers lamp codes change whenever a lamp is improved to give a brighter output, longer life, better burn angle etc etc (although retailers lists aren't always changed or updated to take account of these new codes). The CP28 became the CP53(Thorn) or the Philips 6153. The CP53 had an odder shaped 'BT' envelope and a colour temperature of 3200 K and a life expectancy of 400 hours. This change actually occured some considerable years ago but stocks would have dwindled slowly. It is still available but now known asa CP74 with an improved life expectancy of up to 1500 hours (they don't seem to do that on my 293s)!Also available is a 1Kw version called a T16 with a colour temperature of 3050 K and an expectancy of 750 hours. I hope that this may be of some interest and go towards slightly justifying my existence!!!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
