Tungstram Gone Into Liquidation.

Seen elsewhere...

 

Tungstram gone into liquidation.

This is bad news for the theatre industry. Two of my suppliers are already out of T18/T25, T26/T27, T11/T19, CP62, GKV600 and many other lamps. Just cleared them out of T29's and o ly managed to get 5 between suppliers.

Apparently no other manufacturers of theatre class lamps on the market.......... yet (acording to one supplier) though I do see Osram have a range.

It's not great, but Osram are producing some T class at present. AC-ET have T19, T25 and T27 in stock, and T29 on order.

Also in stock GKV800, HPL575, HPL750

CP60/61/62 are all gone, but there is a chance of some CP62 in the New Year.

However, I don't know how long they will continue to make entertainment lamps. In global terms were are a tiny segment, and may not be viable.

Funny that I was just looking on Stage Electrics to restock T25/T18 and notice the price has jumped and they are stocking Osram. T26 are now cheaper than T25. Having a Google, one website was claiming GE Tungsram had ceased trading which tallys with what Brian opened with. 
 

Thomann are stocking the 240V Osram T25 and seem the cheapest at the moment (1 week lead time).
