Author Topic: Using non-ushio lamps in Xebex Supersol N lamphouses John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 12-09-2008 12:59 AM                     Has anyone used lamps other than Ushio (such as Osram) in Xebex Supersol N IV & V lamphouses? I have been getting mixed responses on compatabililty. I am currently using UXL3000 HK-O's in both. I have been asked to use Osram lamps and their equal is smaller in physical size. Thanks John.  |  IP: Logged Monte L Fullmer Film God Posts: 8367 From: Nampa, Idaho, USA Registered: Nov 2004 posted 12-09-2008 02:47 AM                     If you've had great success with Ushios, why would you want to think on changing? Ushios/Christies have a great reputation over here in the States...  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 12-09-2008 07:44 PM                     Ha!

Will stick with Ushio. Thank you for the replys.  |  IP: Logged
