Author Topic: Light output of xenon lamphouses Robert Throop Master Film Handler Posts: 412 From: Vernon, NY USA Registered: Jun 99 posted 09-16-2000 10:26 AM                     Is there any published data by manufacturers or anyone else giving light output in lumens for specific lamphouses? This should specify the speed and EF of the lens so you can compare apples to apples. I have some information that was published by McAuley (Peerless) in the fifties giving this information on their carbon arclamps. ------------------ Bob Throop  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

I would assume that the carbon lamps had less variables and the data could be printed out and basically apply to any of the comparable lamphouses... Aaron  |  IP: Logged
