Author Topic: Xetron XCN Heat filter Bernie Anderson Jr Master Film Handler Posts: 435 From: Woodbridge, New Jersey Registered: Apr 2000 posted 07-28-2007 09:08 PM                        Do they make heat filters for the Xetron/Nuemade XCN consoles? I running a 4500w bulb in them and I'm trying to balance brightness with heat on the film. I still get a slight buckle eventhough it seems fairly cool. I know with the strong Highlight 2 they have a heat filter at the snood. Thanks Bernie  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 07-29-2007 06:28 AM                        Yes, they are available; pricey. Remember there is always a loss with any filter, so look for light levels to drop slightly and color to shift. Overall, though, this is probably what you should do. Otherwise, go back to a smaller bulb and accept the lower, safer light levels.

They seem to be the most consistant and thay also have the sharpest cutoff. Mark  |  IP: Logged
