Franklin De Los Santos Posted January 19, 2022 Share Posted January 19, 2022 I have a Joker 800 and hear noise from the lamp head, anyone know about possible solutions? I put in a new Osram lamp and problem still persists. I hear that sometimes it could be the lamp manufacturer so I ordered a Koto lamp to test that as well. I pushed the lamp in firmly but maybe there is still a gap, causing an arc between the lamp plugs, that possible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Franklin De Los Santos Posted January 20, 2022 Author Share Posted January 20, 2022 Tried with the Koto 800w lamp and the noise is basically gone, lamps seem to make a difference I guess, same thing was said by the people at k5600. Koto is what the president there recommended, BIG difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, after changing the lamp to the Koto it was silent. The ballast does have that high pitch but the head is now silent. I picked up the Osram at k5600 in Burbank and they told me that sometimes it could in fact be the lamp. They said sometimes you can end up getting one from a bad batch. They also said they prefer the Kotos. I’ll stick to that. I got this joker used for 2k on Craigslist. Turning it into a permanent jo-leko ?
