Author Topic: Attaching Magnets to Xenon Consoles Dino Panagiotopoulos Expert Film Handler Posts: 139 From: Windor, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 07-16-2003 11:31 PM                     At our theater, we use a small little magnet to hold up our showtime schedules, maintenence checklists to the Xenon consoles. My question is, would this in any way affect the performance or the life of the lamp? Thanks.  |  IP: Logged Steven Pickles Film Handler Posts: 81 From: Gainesville, FL, USA Registered: Mar 2001 posted 07-17-2003 12:54 AM                     I cannot imagine that a tiny magnet (like a refrigerator magnet) would have any effect on lamp life or quality of use whatsoever.  |  IP: Logged Dino Panagiotopoulos Expert Film Handler Posts: 139 From: Windor, Ontario, Canada Registered: Jan 2003 posted 07-17-2003 01:14 AM                     This is more of a tiny industrial magnet with a stronger magnetic field than that of which you would find on a refridgerator magnet, etc. I highly doubt it either but what a better place to find out for sure!  |  IP: Logged Michael Schaffer "Where is the Boardwalk Hotel?"

Then you can visually inspect the position of the arc and see if it is steady and centered on the anode. You could also move the magnet around and see if it has any effect.  |  IP: Logged
