Author Topic: Xenon Bulb Codes Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-23-2004 11:39 AM                        Hey Everyone, I know this has been discussed before, but I can't find it. What do the codes on certain bulbs mean, such as LTI-4000W-HTP and LTI-5000W-HS (What does HTP and HS stand for)? What does it mean in literature when they say "Accepts regular Xenon bulbs"? Does that mean LTI-3000W-H? And what abbreviation is compatible with UXL-3600HK? Thanks!  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-2004 02:31 PM                     There is a topic on lamp codes HTP=Horizontal Threaded Pin HS means Horizontal Short  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-23-2004 04:38 PM                        Gordon, do you know which bulbs are compatible with the Xebex lamphouses now (HK)? I can't find info anywhere on these bulbs, if they're still made. And I did find that topic, but it doesn't explain HK, etc.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-23-2004 04:44 PM                     Most Xebex lamphoues use a HTP lamp but in some cases the collet has been bored out for a different lamp Also an Anode cable is required in most cases It is a good idea to check what is the lamp that is currently installed in the system or ask the service engineer for the theatre in question as many have been modified over the years  |  IP: Logged Andrew McCrea Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 645 From: Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada Registered: Nov 2000 posted 12-23-2004 05:09 PM                        Thanks!  |  IP: Logged
