Hi Guys,
We Have 2 Strong 575 Follow Spots, 1 always burned Gels, The other one didn`t.
We finally had to replace the one spots Bulb, just the other day, and after we did and adjusted the lamp, now it too is burning up gels.
To be be Honest thats the first time I have witnessed it, and I couldn`t believe it. We had a Red I believe #6 Cinimoid Gel loaded in, and after we changed the bulb and was testing the light, we switched to the red, and within seconds what was red wen`t to clear, with only a bit of the red still showing in the center of the gel, to indicate that there was even red gel there.
I am not quite sure whats going, on, as when we were adjusting the lamp screws for bulb, we got the got spot to the center of the beam, nice even light across the spot, and a really nice bright and crisp light, so it looks like it should be hotspoted correctly. But if thats the case why, is it burning out the gels like that, and that quickly.
If anyone has any ideas of whats going on I would appreciate it, as were not having the same problem with both follow spots.
Thanks,
