Author Topic: Location of the Airflow Switch on Xenex L-1000 Lamphouses Aaron Mehocic Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 804 From: New Castle, PA, USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 06-07-2005 06:33 PM                     The bulb on our L-1000 is flickering on and off during the show. We know it has to be the airflow switch on the intake blower. Problem is: Where is it? Every Lamphouse I've ever worked on had the switch just before the blower. This one is missing. Could it be wired anywhere else?

If so, none of the ones I've seen had an airflow sail switch, just a door switch. Could it be the bulb? An old bulb can definitely do this.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 06-07-2005 08:19 PM                        I think an L-1000 is the older Xenex, glass reflector, full size.

Thanks Rick. It seems everytime something goes wrong you answer many of my questions.  |  IP: Logged
