There is just about every type of adaptor for any lamp available for the L-2000.

Could it run a 2.5K or 3K bulb? Would the glass reflector need to be changed?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 10-27-2010 09:42 PM                        Yes it will work OK. Same reflector. Beware, however, older Kneisleys had a different igniter for high wattages. Newer ones used the 4k igniter for everything. (See, we've had "4K" for decades!

Yes, I've done this. As somone else pointed out, you need to get the correct bulb adapters. I think they cost us around $50. To be safe we also added extra ventalation. The lamphouse we had already had the larger igniter so that was not an issue. It's the same conversion I did on an L-1000 that I posted pictures of here some time ago. We did this about 2 years ago and haven't had any problems.  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 10-29-2010 06:29 PM                     We will probably be going to a 2.5K, possibly a 3K. I'll try it with the igniter that is in there first I guess. We need a new PS though. The Irem that's in there now only goes up to 2K.  |  IP: Logged
