Author Topic: XM1600HS Xenon Lamp Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???" Posts: 4247 From: Bloomington, IN, USA Registered: Feb 2002 posted 07-31-2003 08:40 PM                     I have some lamp houses that are currently using XM1600HS, which are the short bulbs...and then we go and put on an adapter to make them a little longer. It seems dumb to me...but, who knows? Maybe there's a perfectly logical explanation for this. Anyway...my question is: Could I use the standard XM1600H/VC style in these units and forget about the adapter?  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 07-31-2003 09:52 PM                     It would be a good idea to say what lamphouse/console it is in The HS doesn't need a stabalization magnet in certain lamphouses but the HVC does  |  IP: Logged Manny Knowles "What are these things and WHY are they BLUE???"

I don't get to see these particular lamp houses too often so I can't be 100% sure about that and I really couldn't give a model number.  |  IP: Logged Aaron Sisemore Flaming Ribs beat Reeses Peanut Butter Cups any day!

The 1600W 'Long' bulbs are exactly the same size as a standard 2K H/VC bulb. -Aaron  |  IP: Logged
