Author Topic: Strong Switching power supply pricing Mike Fitzgerald Expert Film Handler Posts: 224 From: Castle Hayne, NC, USA Registered: Jun 2002 posted 04-03-2004 07:59 AM                     What is a fair price for a pair of Strong 1-3k switching power supplies. Is there any thing other brand that will do the same job a 3000 watt xenon using a single phase source. Thanks  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

You might also want to talk to Dick Niccum at Lighting Images Technology or Steve Krams at ICECO if you are looking for a Strong switcher at a reasonable price. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 04-03-2004 11:49 AM                     Last time I checked from NCS a 2-3k PS was about $2k  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft.

Ushio UTech Xenon - Arc 100 has been available for years for Cinema and followspot use and is able to run on a 100 volt line if your fuses are big enough ....a staging company may have some used ones available...there are other manufacturers but these two are easily available in the USA. Leonard Pincus (LPAssociates) has 1 and 2 kw switcher units and for enough money may be able to build other sizes. If a Strong switcher is your final choice, make sure that it is the current design.  |  IP: Logged
