I am setting one up in my garden shed cinema and would value any input on the best way to set up the cooling system on this projector ,I am going to use a 1600watt xenon lamp  |  IP: Logged Kenneth Wuepper Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1026 From: Saginaw, MI, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 06-30-2015 03:24 PM                     Hello Keith, We have one of these projectors in the Temple Theatre in Saginaw, Michigan USA. You can see it in the warehouse under pictures and Single Screen "Temple Theatre". It is essential that you use a heat filter in the lamp house. Our unit has a cooling system consisting of a reservoir with a submerged pump and a radiator with a fan. I can supply more detailed pictures if necessary.

This uses a vertical arc bulb with 2 reflectors. The sheet is 24 x 46 ft and we do not fill it.

I wonder how small they could make the spot with the Futura or if the bulk of the light was wasted with a 35mm-sized spot.  |  IP: Logged Sam D. Chavez Film God Posts: 2153 From: Martinez, CA USA Registered: Aug 2003 posted 07-01-2015 09:14 PM                       It would be bizarre to see a right handed lamp of that size on a left handed projector.  |  IP: Logged Steve Matz Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 672 From: Billings, Montana, USA Registered: Sep 2003 posted 07-02-2015 12:35 AM                     Almost the size of Carmike's Big D and only 16mm  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 08-19-2015 09:15 PM                     James Bond and I installed an Eastman 25 with Kinoton lamphouse and 2kw lamp at the Harold B. Lee library at BYU a few years back. We could get ~23 footberts out of the thing. With an ISCO lens and Blue Star anamorphic a clean 16mm scope print looked like 35mm was being projected. I suspect that image above is also a James Bond installation. The Kinoton lamphouse is a dead giveaway. Mark  |  IP: Logged
