Author Topic: New Osram Xenon bulb Thomas Jonsson Expert Film Handler Posts: 216 From: Bromolla, Sweden Registered: Sep 2003 posted 07-21-2004 02:57 PM                       After the CinemaExpo in Amsterday there has been words around that Osram has come up with a new 4.2kWatt xenonbulb with a light output equal to a 6 kWatt lamp. Can anyone confirm this?

Are we talking similar to a 4K, or closer to a 6K?  |  IP: Logged Chris Hipp Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1462 From: Mesquite, Tx (east of Dallas) Registered: Jul 2003 posted 07-21-2004 09:17 PM                     Not sure about the Osram, but Strong has a shortened gap bulb witht he same specs. The rated life is 700 hours. I have been using them for about two months and they do give out bright light, but it is more of a blue light that is noticable while the movie is running. very annoying.  |  IP: Logged Daryl C. W.
