timsabre Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 Does such a lamp exist to fit into a Birdie or other fixture? Many thanks. I don't think such a thing exists.GU10's (assuming you mean the mains lamp) have quite a large filament making the lamp optically quite uncontrolled. It would be technically very difficult to make a focused beam like a pinspot with one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigclive Posted September 20, 2013 Share Posted September 20, 2013 The nearest you would get might be an LED GU10 with a narrow beam. It depends on how bright you need it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DanSteely Posted September 21, 2013 Author Share Posted September 21, 2013 Hi Tim, I see your point regarding the large filament v the size of the lens and reflector.. Pity though.. Hi Clive, There are so many LED GU10's out there (look at CPC for instance) there would be a ton of trial and error, possibly leading to lots or divergent beams and not a single parallel one.. I wonder if a product manger from CPC has more accurate photometric data available? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gyro_gearloose Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 You could try clipping an Aspheric lens into the gel frame clips to see if that does what you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 "Pin Spot" in my head means a beam angle of around 5 degrees. I've never seen an LED lamp that narrow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigclive Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 There are LED pinspots around that project a very narrow beam. The tend to come with a cold white source though.

You'd need some form of optic to focus the output to a dot at the target distance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Showbitz Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The simple answer is yes. Mains Birdies exist and take a GU10 lamp - We sell them in either Black or Chrome with barndoors.

musht Posted September 21, 2013 Share Posted September 21, 2013 The simple answer is yes..... with barndoors. Your misunderstanding the requirement a bit, PAR 36 Pinspot, 4515 lamp http://www.lampspecs.co.uk/Light-Bulbs-Tubes/PAR36/4515-Pinspot-PAR36-30W-6V-GE?gclid=CNj3lrPR3LkCFY7LtAod70gAFw is a 5 degree beam angle, a pencil beam with quite a lot of power in it.Low voltage lamp with trafo typically built into fittting. Strand Pageant and R&V beamlights used a low voltage lamp with a large iron wound transformer built in to them. Aircraft Landing Lights, ACL`s are 28V and run in series on mains. Low voltage means a much smaller filament which is easier to capture and control the light from.Current Sharpy et al moving beam lites, use a very short arc discharge lamp. GU10 referring to mains voltage MR16 lamps have couple of problems, small reflector, 50mm, and large filament , mains voltage, can never get a narrow beam out of them, in fact compared against 12V MR16 , GU10 has terrible beam quality anyway.
