Jack Kelly Posted November 1, 2008 Share Posted November 1, 2008 ...if I used the £8.50 ebay enclosures then I could do without the protective tubes and I could build a 4-tube dimmable light fixture for about £104. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Kelly Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Does anyone have any recommendations for good 5400K tubes? 5400K seems to be a fairly rare colour temp for fluoro tubes (but there are lots of 6400K tubes). The two 5400K tubes I've found are: * Philips Graphica Pro 950 (5300K; CRI=98%) * LUMILUX DE LUXE T8 (5400K; CRI=95%) I guess I should go for the Graphica Pro because it's got a nice high colour rendering index. Just wondering if anyone has any experience using these tubes for videography? Many thanks, Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Kelly Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 (edited) In terms of fluorescent tubes, in online forums I keep hearing about "GE Chroma 50"s and "DuroTest Optima 32s and VitaLite 55s" but I haven't been able to find any UK suppliers of these tubes. I've also read that KinoFlo no longer make their own tubes; instead they use DuroTest Optima 32s and VitaLite 55s.

Matthew Buick Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 Hi. I'm sorry if this sounds like a stupid question. I'm planning to buy the 2 x 55w AH kit, I'm just wonder what sort of adaptor I'll need foe the British 240v power supply? It's only 110v in America isn't it? I could look this up myself, but I'd much rather have a proper electrician's advice. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Buick Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 There's a USA to UK voltagew step-down converter about half way down this page. Would that do? http://www.threedoubleyou.com/convertpower.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
