Author Topic: ORC heat filter Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 11-26-2019 07:28 PM                     I have an ORC 6000S lamphouse. It has the 2 rectangular pieces of UV glass by the douser. Can I use this in our Strong Super Highlight console? I know the Highlight uses the round filter but that doesn't matter as I can make it work with a frame.  |  IP: Logged Tony Bandiera Jr Film God Posts: 3067 From: Moreland Idaho Registered: Apr 2004 posted 11-27-2019 01:43 PM                     I see no problem with that as long as the frame doesn't interfere with the dowser. UV filters are not something that alters the focus of the light beam (they aren't supposed to alter the focus) so doing this should be fine. At least the ORC filter will be used in a far superior lamphouse.  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 11-27-2019 02:33 PM                     Thank you Tony!!  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 11-28-2019 04:25 PM                     Another thing I just thought of and this may not make any sense but I want to be sure. Why are the 2 pieces mounted at a 45 degree angle? Is it so it blocks it better where the 2 pieces meet as the light is not shooting straight onto the joint of the 2 pieces?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 11-29-2019 09:29 AM                     That was so that they reflect the energy at the side wall of the lamphouse where they had those two extra plates to act as a heat sink  |  IP: Logged Richard May Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1057 From: Floral Park, NY USA Registered: Aug 2004 posted 11-29-2019 09:58 AM                     Ah. I see. Thanks Gordon.  |  IP: Logged
