Premium Member Joseph Tese Posted December 27, 2019 Premium Member Share Posted December 27, 2019 (edited) Thought I'd share converted Wall-O-Lite (traditional 10Bank Kino Fixture) upgraded with 13 - 50watt Quasar T12 crossfades using their QBlocks Because of the tight concentration of tubes, I'm going to make sure there's airflow in the back of the kino housing, I suppose by drilling multiple holes. I don't think a fan is necessary, but I will monitor on longer shoots. I haven't measured output yet, but seems like it matches or exceeds a 1200W HMI softened through a decent bit of diff. It wasn't that difficult to DIY - But one note on the QBlocks, is that after about the 6th row or so, they don't want to accept anymore tubes (The side pressure from opening up). To work around this, I moved a couple pairs towards the center of the housing, essentially "resetting" the stiffness. When using the Kino honeycomb grid, it knocks down the output considerably. Maybe if I find a fabric grid that fits and also maximizes output. I know it's nothing new under the sun, but we got the wall-o-lite for 50 bucks and I think it's a total cost savings if you can't get a framed array, and have that many tubes to invest in it.
