  • Specs for replacement heat shields for lamp house?

    It's been on my wanted list for a while to replace the heat shield glass in the Strong Super 80 lamphouse. The only sources I've found have been crazy expensive for an OEM part.

    The late John had a couple but passed them on before I could convince anyone to spend money.

    I've been looking at the Borosilicate Hot Mirror specs provided by this manufacturer. Would such a 3rd party part be appropriate?

    (Hot Mirrors are the term for those that pass visible and UV, but reflect NIR and IR).

    I need to get the calipers out to verify if any of their stock sizes are correct, but I presume they might be able to do a custom diameter too.

    Do you vaunted cinema techs have any sources you already use for such things?

    I was also considering Rosco, who has a Borofloat dichroic IR/UV hot mirror filter, which can be done in custom sizes too.

    Their No. 8000 and No. 8100 product are very similar but perhaps have different transmission curves?

    I guess is reflecting UV something that would have been true of the OEM part, the KnightOptical ones pass UV, where as the Rosco ones say they reflect it.
