Wow!, there is a
fixture I don’t yet have or have not yet worked with. Totally cool - this me in just acquired three more ancient Fresnels to bring me up to five of other than
Altman 65 or 65Q ancient no longer made type.
Got designers bringing in fixtures from Europe that have some
fixture that’s more efficient in a US version but I still have to convert as EU to US, got others looking for other new fixtures that are unique for me to work on. Hmm, a designer wanting a obsolete
fixture... relish your time with it if you are the one converting it to modern standards. What can you learn from this
fixture. For me as a
Fresnel by the photo, it looks like a much longer in length
Fresnel than normal. What’s photometrically a difference in the
fixture given this, much less what lamp does it use and what will be the expected differences in that?
Curious the
thumb screw at the top of the
gel frame side of the
fixture, means to me that the front of the
fixture opens up so as to change the lamp yet I don’t see a seam. Between the front crank and this
thumb screw, it’s evidence that Kliegl didn’t always have the best ideas on engineering. Still I want one - personally.
Is it an ovalite or
Fresnel? That’s a big difference in design qualities there. Perhaps since Ovalites are not so normal these days the designer is not specifying Fresnels but the other for his design.
Don’t see the lamp used in the
fixture listed and didn’t go to
www.Kliegl.com to check it. I expect this
fixture is using a 400G/FL lamp? Perhaps it’s a prop light instead and using a
LED source instad. Very popular to use the classic look of a lighting
fixture and add a
LED source to it instead for show use.
After reading the discussion It’s a higher wattage lamp larger
lens seemingly used in the
fixture than thought. Still the same concept in both similar to a PC
fixture as used as a prop light shape and style and it’s application as a prop. Me, I have seen ancient lights in the back of some scrap dealer’s pickup truck at least once and been too late in running down the stairs of the theater to catch it in offering real money as opposed to scrap value to the classic
stage lighting
fixture seen thrown into the back of a scrap dealer’s truck. - Na, never happened, Instead I couldn’t afford donuts much less any offer when seen such lights. Instead I was just profoundly sad when the pickup truck loaded with theater gear was stopped at a stop light near my office and I was helpless to save the stuff from the scrap pile. Gone from NY... Given the few of this
fixture no doubt already there, what was left of it no doubt would be hard to get for the production.
“Dustincoc” - not knowing but not many dimmers can handle a 5K light... nope, older dimmers often could handle a larger light source. 5Kw dimmers were fairly common in lighting systems dependant upon the
stage of course.
“Derekelffew” - I have a 30A
stage pin plug mounted to my wall of shame.. They did exist and I can photo it. Just added to the wall of shame is a 100A
stage pin. Least I believe it is. Got them off some 10Kw Mole Fresnels - the normal these days prop light
fixture beyond 5Kw
Fresnel prop lights. Kliegl seem older to me and others no doubt thus this one as a period prop in design ways perhaps. Just a thought given studio/movie Fresnels are sort of ageless and timeless as to period or establishing age.
