Tom Khazoyan Posted September 12, 2006 Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi All, I've got a pair of old Arrisun 12 (1200W) HMI PAR heads. They are working but I'm going to be using them on an upcoming project. I want at least one spare lamp for them. The problem is that they use HMI 1200W/Par64 lamps. Osram no longer makes them and the current manufacturers make them by special order only. So the vendors want a minimum order of 10 lamps (@ $5-600 each)! I'm looking for more sources for such lamps. Or a few other owners who want to pick up spares! Thanks in advance for the ideas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the quantity gets everyone. I need a couple. I'll pass the word around. Maybe we can do a group-buy. If you know of anyone who needs some, let them know. I did ask Barbizon here in Denver if they wanted to stock a few but haven't heard back. Arri's offices refer you first to Barbizon if you ask about the PAR64s. But, of course Barbizon doesn't have any either. Thanks for the tip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 You could try the Ebay seller "Lights64". I've bought globes from them in the past, reasonable shipping policy. Here is a link to one of their auctions, just email them with your needs. http://cgi.ebay.com/HMI-1200W-SE-1200W-SIN...1QQcmdZViewItem No, I don't own "Lights64".

Michael Morlan Posted September 24, 2006 Share Posted September 24, 2006 Lights64 rocks! I've bought several sets of globes from them. Great prices and timely delivery. No, I don't own Lights64. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD Hartman Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 What is the definitive answer on these older HMI Pars with the sealed beam globes. I recall an old thread where someone said they had retrofitted a fixture to use a relector and a single ended lamp. But I can't seem to locate it. Old ARRI 1.2 Pars, buy them, or avoid them?

Tom Khazoyan Posted January 5, 2007 Author Share Posted January 5, 2007 Hi All, I finally found the 1200W HMI Par64 globes. One source quoted $850/each! In the end, we got part of a special order from Kennedy Webster. Our cost was a much more reasonable $275 or so. We got four spares for our two heads. In our case, we are going into production in a foreign country so we can't leave anything to chance. Here is their info. Owner: Raymond Schulmacher C/O Kennedy Webster Electric CO. 133 North Jefferson Street Chicago IL. 60661 PH: (800) 531.2852 Fax: 312.876.1612 raymond.schulmacher@kennedywebster.com My opinion is that I would probably think very hard before purchase those heads. I was naive and un-informed, as were my DP and Gaffer. The globes were only recently discontinued and we didn't do our research ahead of time. But for our purposes on this production, I'm happy with them. If they die by the end of production in the jungle, we'll just walk away from them. We could never afford to rent comparable lights in our situation. But I anticipate they'll come home and we'll keep them going for a while. I have heard about retrofits, but I can't Google any info on them, so it's probably something I'd have to dig around for. Maybe when I have nothing else to do some year... ;-) - Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
