Martin Ubilluz Film Handler Posts: 21 From: boca raton,fl / United states of America Registered: Apr 2006 posted 10-02-2006 05:12 AM                     i got a 3000w bulb the other day the step said 3000w the box was a 3000w box and it is bright like a 3000w but the bulb envilope was super small like a 1500w bulb is something wrong???  |  IP: Logged Dustin Mitchell Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1865 From: Mondovi, WI, USA Registered: Mar 2000 posted 10-02-2006 05:53 AM                     What brand of bulb? You could check the serial number on the bulb (anode or cathode end) against the box to see if they match.  |  IP: Logged Richard Fowler Film God Posts: 2392 From: Ft. Lauderdale, FL, USA Registered: Jun 2001 posted 10-02-2006 09:41 AM                     Possibly a 3000HS bulb that would be about 3 + inches shorter or HTP which would be about an inch shorter than a common 3000W/H. End fitting diameter and use of thread or not would be different than 3000W/H...but it could be forced into the existing fittings  |  IP: Logged Alan Gilbertson Expert Film Handler Posts: 148 From: Carpentersville Il 60110 Registered: Nov 1999 posted 10-02-2006 02:57 PM                        Sounds like a LTI Helios bulb  |  IP: Logged Martin Ubilluz Film Handler Posts: 21 From: boca raton,fl / United states of America Registered: Apr 2006 posted 10-02-2006 10:12 PM                     its not shoreter andevery thing is normal about it lenghth and everything just the bulb envilope is very small  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 10-03-2006 12:30 AM                     quote: Alan Gilbertson Sounds like a LTI Helios bulb Looks like this one?
