Tim Tyler Posted December 20, 2005 Share Posted December 20, 2005 Anybody have any suggestions when buying older DE HMI fixtures? Should I 'just say no' to double-ended, or are they still fine if they're cheap to buy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gilbert Posted December 23, 2005 Share Posted December 23, 2005 Anybody have any suggestions when buying older DE HMI fixtures? Should I 'just say no' to double-ended, or are they still fine if they're cheap to buy? DE HMI's are fine on Fresnel Heads, Great soft light output. If you go with Pars, then you will want to go with SE HMI's. You can find DE HMI's heads pretty cheap at Pyramid Films in CA. Hope this helps.

Mitch Gross Posted December 24, 2005 Share Posted December 24, 2005 You may find great difficulty getting replacement bulbs, and those bulbs will be at a premium. Also, the less efficient design means less light for the same wattage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also, the less efficient design means less light for the same wattage. There is no difficuty getting DE replacement bulbs, you can buy them anywhere and they are less expensive then the SE bulbs. Also, they are not less efficient . The reason you think they are is because DE globes are used more in Fresnel Heads which the output is less because of the fresnel lens and you think that a SE lamp is more efficient because when used in a Par there is no fresnel lens so you got more output light (no losses).

Premium Member Paul Bruening Posted December 26, 2005 Premium Member Share Posted December 26, 2005 Hey now, Don't forget dichroic PAR 64s. No flicker hassles and the highest output per watt. You can get the theatre cans at Dr. Bob's for around $40.00. 1000W Globes are about $150.00 at 5200K at Mole Richardson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim Tyler Posted December 29, 2005 Author Share Posted December 29, 2005 I have been noticing alot too how you try to play GOD! Really? Funny how the email address you registered under is 'hmilighting@hot****.com' and that you're posting from the same IP as Gilbert Navarro. Might you be the same person??

Seems like a pretty reasonable request, Gilbert, so what's the problem? Maybe you think Tim should be subsidizing the advertising for your company?

If You want to change the rules then you should limit what you can write on the control panel! Jose Miramontez He's not playing God, just trying to keep the forum organized and clean. The problem with this kind of signature is that it creates visual pollution and makes reading the posts a harder task. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch Gross Posted December 29, 2005 Share Posted December 29, 2005 Tim's actually been one of the most laid back and even-keeled moderators I've experienced. This forum is a great asset, let's try to keep things civilized. If someone asks for a bit of advice, it is not absolutely necessary for them to thank you for information. And if a foum moderator makes a direct request then it is a good idea to try to accomodate it. Beyond everything else this is just good manners.
