Author Topic: anode cable absent. Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 01-14-2010 02:36 PM                     I just received a 2500 watt Hanovia bulb which is supposed to match the Christie CXL-25SC and the Osram XBO 2500HS OFR. I have a super lumex lamphouse, this Hanovia bulb has no anode cable. Do i need a cable from Hanovia or a adapter for the super lumex or is there a way to make a cable from an old bulb work? I bought this at a extreme discount,looks unused.Wish i could use it!  |  IP: Logged James Westbrook Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1133 From: Lubbock, Texas, Usa Registered: Mar 2006 posted 01-14-2010 03:25 PM                     The short period I was using Osrams I had to remove the anode from the Christie bulb I just removed and install it on the Osram. The Osrams I got had these "suppository" leads on the top in place of the lead I needed to install from the Christie. I did not care for the Osrams, though I had been ordered to requisition them by my regional booth tech at the time. In fact, I was thrilled when I ordered more Osrams and my company's purchaser "substituted" with Christies.  |  IP: Logged Victor Liorentas Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 800 From: london ontario canada Registered: May 2009 posted 01-14-2010 03:40 PM                     The Osram and Christie cables i have will not fit this Hanovia,smaller threads,small hole.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 01-14-2010 03:51 PM                     Strong did sell a cable that clamped around the anode pin you may have to take a old osram lead and have a machine shop turn the end down and thread it  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 01-14-2010 08:49 PM                        Is Hanovia still in business??? Yes, the 2500 hs bulbs should be standard with a cable with a ring lug. Louis  |  IP: Logged
