[Frameworks] transformers and brightness
Thanks for the comprehensive list Alain. This barrel is on a kodak pageant, and so yeah, not such a fast lens at f1.6 and impossible to find anything slower, especially given the skinniness of that barrel. I don’t think I will go so far as to machine it out. I was really looking for an easy way to increase the actual bulb brightness by upping it to 300/350W from 250W, say, without doing damage. I will look into the rheostat idea. And thanks David for an incredible response to the transformer query, very helpful. I will contact you off list.

[Frameworks] increasing bulb brightness 16mm
Does anyone have any expertise/experience around increasing bulb wattage over and above that recommended by projector manufacturer? I want to brighten a 24V/250W 16mm bulb setup, but I obviously don’t want any electrical fires or overheating internally. Is there a breathing area where little if anything would need to be changed internally that is safe? (And no, I don’t want any water-cooled, heat-sinked LED setup, already researched that and it is a bad idea on many fronts.) Thanks. ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
[Frameworks] transformer question
I am taking two 16mm analytic projectors to the UK from North America, and require power transformers. Each projector is marked as 120V 400W 60 Cycle. They are analytic projectors and I am pulsing the image (ie I am not looking for steady 24fps), Can I use standard transformers that convert 120V/230V 60Hz/50Hz? Or do I need to worry about the Cycles? It seems most places have transformers, but they might not be able to accomodate the 50 vs 60 aspect. If you have any suggestions, it would be appreciated, thanks! ___ FrameWorks mailing list FrameWorks@jonasmekasfilms.com https://mailman-mail5.webfaction.com/listinfo/frameworks
