Stage Spotlight Bulb

[Hightower]

We need a new bulb for one of the stage spotlights. It looks similar to this:

 

3000W quartz spotlight bulb products, buy 3000W quartz spotlight bulb products from alibaba.com

 

But the numbers on ours are:

 

T/11

240V

1000W

C9VR

 

Can't find one anywhere - any ideas?

[Hightower]

Well, I can find them by searching for T/11 bulb but apparently those prices are pretty expensive.

[IrritableTech]

Yep, it's a T11. They are expensive I'm afraid. Around the £10 mark I should expect.

Stage electrics down on the valley, hopefully they have in stock or you can take it down to them and they can sort you out.

Like I say, the music teacher feels these prices are expensive.

[TronXP]

not for that sort of bulb to be honest.

T11 (T19) Theatre Lamp 240V 1000W ONLY £10.01 IN STOCK (8 Dec 2011) - £8.34 ex vat seems ok

£10 is a bit steep, you might get them for £8.50 or so. But to be honest, is it worth messing about? That's what they cost. For a comparison you could try AC-ET, Mico, or Specialist Lamp Distributors. T11 can be swapped with T19 without a performance change.

The other day I went into the Audi dealer. Spotted a car I liked, TTS quatro, but I thought the price was too expensive. After a word with the man I drove it away for £50.

 

 

If she thinks its too expensive there a really simple solution, do without.

 

 

 

BTW checked where we get them from and they are £16 so a tenner don't seem bad to me.

[Hightower]

A tenner is about what he was expecting. It was the delivery costs that bump the price up he was against. Thanks @plexer - that's awesome. Sent him the link, can get on for just over a tenner delivered ex VAT, exactly what he was after.

 

@j17sparky - where did I say a tenner is expensive? Somebody posted a link to a one for £15, plus £3 delivery, which is expensive. @plexer is the first to post a link to a sub £10 lamp with reasonable delivery costs.

Opps my bad lol. Stupid thing is though the amount of time you have spent on here and going back and forth with the teacher has probably wasted £10+ of time...

No, nothing like that I'm afraid. We are looking for a 1000w theatrical lamp.

Nah, nothing like that. But we can still be friends - have a friendship star.

Not really, the school pays my wage regularly rather than per hour, so it's in my interests to save the school money wherever possible. It might seem like a small amount but the music department has a very small budget so every little helps. Plus, it's probably only taken me about 2 minutes tops to write all posts in this thread, and I wish I was on £5 per minute

 

you're in winchester right...

 

Nope, think you getting your wires crossed with me and @Andrew_C

[Andrew_C]

Err... I don't have any requirements. The OP is Hightower. I know where to buy them from; see above for who I get to quote on box quantities.

Thats good as the price in inc vat + delivery but Minimum order quantity 2 may be handy to have a spare just depends on how long they normall last for.

you're right. I am. I'm an idiot.

 

However... the advice still stands, but there will be postage! Not sure how much that will be to cloud 9!

[Hightower]

@Bossman has provided a good link, but the music teacher hasn't got a requirement for two at the moment. I said to him to order a few spares but he said in his 7 years here this is the first time one has gone. Also, as there is an array of lights (not just one) it's not going to be the end of the world if a light is out for a performance.

A bit late now but CPC is also a good source for theatre lamps, I get all mine from there, not that one as I don't use them but I have found them to be the cheapest place going for them and have used a range of places listed above so maybe worth a gander.

[Hightower]

Ok, thought I'd post this here as it's similar subject - saves starting a new thread.

 

The cable used is having problems - it consists of 4 cables, a couple work, a couple don't. The teacher has tried soldering the ends in an attempt to fix, which worked for a couple of years but I think the cable has now had a look. So, has anyone got one of the following cables lying around they no longer need, or can any one point me to a new one (at a decent price obviously).

 

Sorry, I don't know the name of the cable, so I attach photos.

 

This is the block on the wall the cables plug into to connect to the lights

 

 

This is the end that connects to the light amp (yes, that's what I'm calling it - basically the device to control the lights....... oh, light controller might have been better).

 

 

This is the end that connects to the wall.

 

 

The two ends are very similar as in number of pins, but as you might be able to tell have different connectors.

 

EDIT: Sorry for quality of images - took on phone in a rush

[Oaktech]

i don't have any cables, but i can tell you that the pic in the middle are 8 pin dins, readilly available from CPC. the bottom picture shows a thing called a strand blecon connector... these were only made by strand in the late 80's and early 90's. strand expired in about 2006 and the connectors are made of solid unobtanium. You need to speak to someone like stage electrics to get your equipment changed to run din sockets, then you will be able to just buy din leads. Edited December 9, 2011 by Oaktech

[Hightower]

I think after a search these are 8-pin analogue control cables (plug/plug)

 

Now just need to find a good price for them.

[Hightower]

If the cable he has is ok, should he be able to buy some of these (EIGHTPIN DIN PLUG | Audio Connectors | Cables & Connectors) and fit them to the cable himself? Is that a fairly straight forward job?
