Author Topic: Strong Lumex panel meter Bill Yacey Film Handler Posts: 23 From: St. Albert, Alberta, Canada Registered: Feb 2011 posted 02-15-2011 10:53 AM                     Does anyone know off hand what the full scale deflection current is for the volt/current meter on the Strong Super Lumex 2KW lamphouse? The meter I have is damaged and I was considering to retrofit a digital panel meter in place of it.

I would think the digital meter would be more accurate and mechanically robust.  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 02-15-2011 08:25 PM                        Bill; it is written on the meter 50mv full scale I think. I will look tomorrow. The mechanical meter was VERY subject to vibtattion.
