    Modding/Repair Helpline ... Get your answers here! :-)

    Question about the Reva Long Arm 2400 Hi, I just spent about an hour searching to see if what I need to know was already posted. No luck. Lets go back 10+ years. The Reva Long Arm 2400 was a high end metal halide flashlight that came out in the early 2000's. By today's standards, its 1800...

    Emergency Vehicle Strobe Lights: A Legal Question

    It never occurred to me that they would be illlegal for stage lighting until I found they were prohibited on eBay. Red lenses are on the way. I need one or two blue ones. They are 3x4 with a screw in each corner. The exact Whelen part number is 68-1180646-20. The last two digits represent the...

    Emergency Vehicle Strobe Lights: A Legal Question

    I actually did locate a pair of red ones. There are a few lenses for sale here and there on eBay. I bought them before I discovered they were prohibited. I don't think everyone knows they're prohibited. Sooner or later I'll find a blue one too. My question is whether its legal to use a police...

    Emergency Vehicle Strobe Lights: A Legal Question

    I have a question that hopefully a CPF member may be able to answer. I recently bought a Whelen Dashmaster II dual strobe light over in CPF Marketplace. This is a light that can be used for emergency vehicles (police, fire). I have no business with this if I was planning on using it for its...

    Xeray "The Bomb" status?

    I've just noticed for the first time on the XeVision web site that "Coming Soon" will be 75w ballasts. I wonder if this is going to be the announcement. I did notice that it says they will be available for "Approved Applications Only". Dan (Xeray), tell us more! Is a "Build it Yourself"...

    Wicked Lasers vs Other and no brands

    I have to admit, I always read the laser forum. I'm not really all that interested in lasers. I do have a couple of nice bright pen size lasers I use for astronomy star pointers but I read the the forum for its entertainment value. No where else in CPF can you see so many threads get locked. Its...

    Hornets!

    I had a similar experience. I was camping at a municipal campground in Fairfax County, Va. a little over a year ago. I had recently received my 50w XeRay. At about 10pm, I pointed it straight up for a few seconds then turned it off. After I turned it off, I was chased by an angry hornet, which...

    Seasonal HID Lantern

    Do you mean will the lamp cook the pumpkin? I don't think so. The HID bulb gets real hot but overall it doesn't give off that much heat. It is seriously air-cooled too, its about 32 deg F right now. I placed a rope around the whole thing to discourage anyone from looking into the front of the...

    Stage Laser Show Manufacturer in China

    Why does this sort of thing happen mostly in the laser forum? There is a perfectly good place to sell stuff at CPF. It's called Buy, Sell and Trade. Do people that are into selling laser equipment have trouble reading?

    Barn Burner Beam Shot

    It was mentioned over in the group buy thread that it can take up to 50 hours of break-in time before hid bulbs reach full intensity. I would like to point out that NONE of my HID lights have anywhere near 50 hours of use yet! This means that the beamshot I posted (first post in this thread) is...

    Barn Burner Beam Shot

    Lux asks how the 50w and 75w compare. My take so far is that the hot spot is not really much brighter and the throw really isn't much farther. However, the hot spot is bigger and the side spill is much larger and much brighter.

    Barn Burner Beam Shot

    You can't order these on line yet. If you go to http://www.xevision.com, you'll find the company that sells them. Currently, only the 35w and 50w versions are available. If you call them, I think they will put you on a notification list so you can be informed when it is available. You have to...

    Barn Burner Beam Shot

    Delvance asks: Is the hotspot of the BB rather rectangular in shape or is it just the photo ? I checked the next night, and yes, the hot spot is a bit elongated but not nearly as pronounced as it appears in the picture. Solomon MK2 asks: You must have dialled up the aperture to the max to...
