Author Topic: Ushio DXL40BAF/L adapter Michal Matys Film Handler Posts: 70 From: Prague, Czech Republic Registered: Nov 2014 posted 06-12-2018 08:37 AM                    Hello guys, I have recently bought new lamps from Ushio. My concern is the cathode adapter, since I have not found any clear information about this. When I compared the lamp with 4kw lamp from Osram, the screw is a little bit longer, so it seems to me it will not fit (did not test it yet). I have checked the manual and in the manual there is only DXL40BAF lamp mentioned and it says it has the same adapter as Osram 4KW. I need to know adapters for 23B and DP2000 projectors. Anyone have the experience? Thanks!

The 19B and 23B lamphouses max out a 4kW and also use the same cathode adapter for all compatible lamps. Only the 32B has multiple different lamp adapters, to suit various different lamps up to 6500W.  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

While the 19B/23B projectors use the "same adapter" for all lamps it is NOT the same adapter that is used for the 12C-20C/1200-2000. The thing to remember is that for the DP2K-xxC projector, there is but one adapter for ALL lamps. Likewise for the DPxK-19B or DPxK-23B there is but one adapter for ALL lamps. If you want to confuse things, the DPxK-32B lamphouse (aka "XL") will fit the other B projectors as well as vice-versa.  |  IP: Logged
