Author Topic: Xenon suppliers in Australia John Wilson Film God Posts: 5438 From: Sydney, Australia. Registered: Dec 1999 posted 09-30-2009 05:21 PM                     Where do you guys here buy your Xenon Lamps? Apart from Edge that is...there was a guy in Perth a few years back, but can't recall his name. What brand of lamp do you go for?  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 09-30-2009 07:35 PM                     I use Ushio lamps and buy them from Edge. I would like to know if there are other suplliers of this brand too. Osram xenons can be bought direct from Osram Australia. Here in Melbourne there is also.

They source a good range of lamps and other projection related goodies as well as tech work. As I'm not sure about linking to their website on the forum, if you email me I can give you their contact details. They're a good bunch.

The EDGE office in Perth is still around and they are still doing installs and services. We're using Osram lamps and getting around 8000+hrs out of them.  |  IP: Logged Jeremy Weigel Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1062 From: Edmond, OK, USA Registered: Mar 2007 posted 10-02-2009 12:45 AM                     quote: Michael Hossen We're using Osram lamps and getting around 8000+hrs out of them. The last time I saw an Osram with that many hours on it, the bulb was so dark the picture looked horrible. Surprisingly though, it lit on the first strike and was stable.  |  IP: Logged Michael Hossen Expert Film Handler Posts: 136 From: Perth, Australia Registered: Apr 2007 posted 10-02-2009 05:18 AM                        quote: Jeremy Weigel The last time I saw an Osram with that many hours on it, the bulb was so dark the picture looked horrible. Surprisingly though, it lit on the first strike and was stable. We changed out one(2.2K) a couple of weeks ago, and while it was getting pretty dark the picture was still quite good. Much better than you'd experience at a typical multiplex over here...  |  IP: Logged John Koutsoumis Master Film Handler Posts: 261 From: Melbourne, Victoria, Australia Registered: Aug 2003 posted 10-02-2009 06:07 PM                     I get about 4-5000 hrs on my 3k lamps before the go dark and 7000 on 2k lamps. Both are Ushio brand.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-03-2009 08:23 PM                     I purchase lamps from Osram direct. (cuts out the Middle man who ads his cost on)Also Cinetech Australia also sell AGL lamps with excellent warranty service.I havent yet tried AGL as Cinetech have just started to sell them and as yet they dont have a Osram 2000W SHSC type available, not until later this year.  |  IP: Logged Stephen Jones Master Film Handler Posts: 314 From: Geelong Victoria Australia Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-04-2009 12:11 AM                     I Use Osram, tried Ushio but was'nt getting the life out of them so gone back to Osram.It's cheaper to buy direct from Osram as it cuts out the middle man.Ushio are only available from Edge in Australia. Cinetech have just become dealers here for AGL lamps.Told by Nick that they have a excellant warranty and price is competitive.Havent had the chance to try them as yet,only problem is that they don't have version of the Osram 2000WSHSC lamp but should have later on or early next year.AGL also supply lamps for Digital projectors.AGL Being new to Australia time will tell to see how the hours stack up.  |  IP: Logged Kevin Baglow Expert Film Handler Posts: 135 From: Yeppoon Qld, Australia Registered: Dec 2000 posted 10-04-2009 04:25 AM                        Message me if you would like xenons couriered direct from Beijing  |  IP: Logged Mark Gulbrandsen Resident Trollmaster Posts: 16657 From: Music City Registered: Jun 99 posted 10-04-2009 11:52 AM                     quote: Kevin Baglow Message me if you would like xenons couriered direct from Beijing LOL!

Ushio Xenon lamps are manufactured in Philippines and Japan. For Osram, I don' know. Laila  |  IP: Logged
