Hi,
I have an Ernemann IV with a carbon arc lamp house, and I screen silent films on this projector. With it comes a low intensity rectifier, and therefore I use low intensity cinema carbons. First, do any of you know where I can buy these kind of cinema carbons in Europe? If not, anywhere in the US?
Also, someone told me to use a combination of 9mm and 14mm diameter carbons, and luckily I still have some left of these, but not that many. However, do anybody know which other dimension combinations that can be used? I ask this because I have some other dimensions lying around and wonder if some of them can be put to use.
Thanks, Sigurd

Sigurd, I am geussing you are running a small LI reflector lamp. Normal Low Intensity trims are from National Carbon: 16-20 A, 54-57 V - 10mm pos, 7mm neg 21-32 A, 54-57 V - 12mm pos, 8mm neg 32-42 A, 54-57 V - 13mm pos, 9mm neg 42.52 A, 54-57 V - 14mm pos, 10mm neg
All the above carbons are black 8" long.
You might put a request in the equipment for sale / wanted part of this forum. Try Edw H. Wolk, International Cinema in GA. Should be cases of them somewhere and they last forever.
Robert, I think you were thinking of a small Suprex HI lamp. Dick
