Author Topic: Kinoton Lamphouse Adam Towill Film Handler Posts: 27 From: North Adelaide, South Australia Registered: Jun 2013 posted 08-09-2019 07:07 AM                     I’ve got multiple lamphouses around, some of the shorter (up to 2000w) ones, and some of the longer (2000-7000w) ones. My question is: is it simply a physical extension, and can you simply remove the extension if you only want to use 1500-2000w lamps in the longer lamphouse? Or is there more to it than just the extension?  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

The reflectors are different to have the different (significantly) working distances.  |  IP: Logged Adam Towill Film Handler Posts: 27 From: North Adelaide, South Australia Registered: Jun 2013 posted 08-10-2019 08:51 AM                     Bugger. I figured that might be the case. Thank you.  |  IP: Logged Jerry Axelsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 107 From: Stockholm, Sweden Registered: May 2005 posted 08-11-2019 04:16 AM                     Adam, I have done what you ask about. A Kinoton 7K lamphouse with the collar on. I use a Kinoton lamp adapter to mount the 1600W bulb with. Works great on a 5m wide screen, throw 10m. Should be easy to make the adapter in a machine shop.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!
