Author Topic: Xetron XH4000 Lanphouse Donald Brown Expert Film Handler Posts: 131 From: Lincoln, DE Registered: Sep 2009 posted 01-18-2010 05:54 PM                     Will a Xetron XH4000 lamphouse operate with a Christie CXL 40H xenon bulb? The Xetron lamphouse has a badly burned bulb, and I have a spare Christie CXL 40H, with low hours. I would inspect it my self, but the theatre is 9 hours away, and I am trying to keep the exhibitor's expenses to a minimum as they get their new operation up and running. Additionally, are there any adapter bushings necessary to accomodate the Christie bulb?

The later types (after 1984 or so) had a redesigned negative mount that could accept several different adaptors including threaded types. I have emailed you a chsrt showing the adaptors available. Note, though, the chart shows only Osram bulbs, so a cross reference will need to be done. I suggest calling the theater and asking if they use a threaded 4000w bulb in that lamphouse. If not, a Christie probably won't fit. My guess is you would then need Xetron p/n XH300-75-43 to get it to work.  |  IP: Logged
