mal421 Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 If you can't find any you could always try making some. I bought some a few years back from Stage LX and all they are is a cube of aluminium, of appropriate size to get the filament in the right place, with a GX 9.5 holder screwed onto one surface and the opposite surface drilled and tapped to match the existing P28 mounting screw holes in the lantern. Since then I have made my own when needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IIRC the kits were made by Jim Laws for RB, but I believe Jim is now also "retired". As ma1421 says, it is only a block of aluminium with 4 (?) tapped screw holes & a GX 9.5 holder.

sandall Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 You may find it easier to look for a T.14 lamp; they still seem to be available. I had about 20 of them until fairly recently (when the venue closed they went in a skip before I could rescue them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Since then I have made my own when needed. I just had a look inside my other 223 and that's exactly what's in it so I'll just sacrifice a prelude or something for the GX 9.5 holder (can't remember if they're the right pin size but I'll find something or just buy one online) then get a block of aluminium and copy the other 223. You may find it easier to look for a T.14 lamp; they still seem to be available. I had about 20 of them until fairly recently (when the venue closed they went in a skip before I could rescue them). I was considering that at first but from what I can see T14 lamps are £30 compared to about £10 for a T19 so a T19 and new holder (just over £16 on thomann) would work out cheaper in the long run.

kgallen Posted August 3, 2017 Share Posted August 3, 2017 Prelude will have a GY9.5 base for 500/650W lamps like T18/T25. You need a GX9.5 from a 1kW lantern for a T11/T19 lamp.Stage Electrics have them: (sorry for the mobile link)http://m.stage-electrics.co.uk/shop/sales/lighting/lampholders/product.aspx?code=504-2089&nr=trueKevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
