Author Topic: CXL-10 operating position Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-16-2012 05:25 PM                     The Christie CXL-10 xenon lamp has no operating designation on it's spec sheet that I can find - just a "N/A" designation, so I am wondering if this means it can be run vertically and horizontally. Does anyone know the correct operating position for this lamp, and if it is built for horizontal operation what are the consequences of running it vertically?  |  IP: Logged Louis Bornwasser Film God Posts: 4441 From: prospect ky usa Registered: Mar 2005 posted 04-16-2012 08:23 PM                        I am certain that it is at least horizontal. It is "normal" for the CH-10 console.

From what I have read, it 'should' not have any issues but I'm still not 100% certain.  |  IP: Logged Gordon McLeod Film God Posts: 9532 From: Toronto Ontario Canada Registered: Jun 99 posted 04-17-2012 10:08 AM                     Almost all horizontal bulbs will burn vertically with no issues  |  IP: Logged Ian Parfrey Phenomenal Film Handler Posts: 1049 From: Imbil Australia 26 deg 27' 42.66" S 152 deg 42' 23.40" E Registered: Feb 2009 posted 04-17-2012 01:58 PM                     Thanks for that Gordon. That was the impression I had but wanted to get a learned opinion.  |  IP: Logged
