    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    These bulbs say they are rated for 300 hours on the web site. I dont thing there was an increase in blow out the dim year. Now the genny putting out too many amps could have happened but no way to really know. It's set the same every year and I assume it's a straight forward setting. But our...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    at $214.00 each edlt lens tube, it's not going to happen. There is no budget for anything new. And fel t6 g9.5 base 1k bulbs are all either 27,000 or 27,500 lumens. No daylight/sunlight options. or I should say, they are all at 3200 temperature.

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    These bulbs work for 7 days, 12 hours a day off a large 120v genny, a year. That's it and yes, I could say that half die at the end of this. I'm sure the genny has been 120v every year. I've been googling the heck out of this 220v vs 120v bulb/power thing. I'm still not sure I get it since there...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    Ok, Now I have to ask, Were using a mega huge generator for our lights. Could using a 220v bulb outshine the 120v. And how would using a 220v 1K bulb do in this fixture? I'm wondering if that's what has happened in the brightness issue. Perhaps I didnt realize we had been using 220v bulbs and I...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    wow, a GLD. So now I have to wonder, do I buy, FEL, FLK, FCV or GLD. The GLD has a more robust looking filament but only seems to come in 750w. Can people pipe in on any insight into these choices.

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    Once again, great information here. I'm still not sure about the whole FLV, FEL, FLK, and now a FCV choice. I am quite sure that I used FLV bulbs. But to purchase for this coming event, I'm still hoping for advice on which is the best to purchase. I will clean and bench focus each one of the bad...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    Thanks greatly for your knowledge. I'm privy to these fixtures for 7 days once a year so I'm not getting much education around them. I know were using the same size generator that we've always used. So no changes there. I can say that even tho bulbs are used only a short time, at least half...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    That's one of the problems I keep coming up against. People havent heard of the FLV. But it's clearly on the bulb and I've been buying them for a few years up til last year. It's also a 1k. not 12000w. These 6x22's had been using 1K's for as long as the 5 years I've been using them. The max is...

    6x22 long barrel Leko Ellipsoidal 1K bulbs (FLV vs FEL)

    I have been using 6 - 6x22 Long Barrel Ellipsoidal's to light up flags in the desert at burning man. I have always bought the FLV 1k's but couldnt find them last year so bought the FEL 1K's. The FEL's were so dim they barely lit the flags. Nothing has changed from one year to the next except the...
