Thanks for catching that. I know I used such lamps before on past projects. You are correct. I was going to re-post about how much the tower of
LED's would
block the actual
reflection from the
reflector, and output might due to
node placement be strange, but did not look at the
voltage in often lamps range in
voltage. Below on another option.
First photo is of a 1KAL
Altman 1Kw Studio
Fresnel converted to 75w
halogen BA-15d Inkie type lamp. I disconnected the lamp
socket from
power, and removed its wiring. I connected the now sleeved wires on a BA-15d lamp
socket to that high temp.
barrier strip. Challenge was in cutting, rounding off, drilling and tapping out some 1/4" brass rod with 4-40 tapping to match the lamp
socket's mounting
cleat.
This lamp
socket mouting
cleat had to be die grindered in a little but otherwise.... an Inkie Lamp, was bench focused into a 1Kw lighting
fixture.
I have adaptors from 10Kw
Fresnel to mount 2Kw
Fresnel lamps, and 2Kw to medium screw
etc. in others. Amongst dozens of G-9.5
Leko's made into really good output E-26
Edison A-19 lamp for output, household lights. I always love the challange of making a
fixture into something else. A few weeks ago I also converted some 2Kw Mole Beam Projectors into 3x
PAR 64 NFL lamp prop lights. Goes back around 20 or more years for me in converting 5 & 10K Fresnels into moving light shells, shells for smaller wattage lamps, or later
LED prop lights. Even a
PAR 64 can into a 1Kw flashlight amongst fun projects. Believe the
lantern was using a tower
LED. Can't find the photo's of any of my
LED grenades... High output
RGB tape with four nodes of
LED BA-15D towers, or the
LED tape wrapped around a
strobe light.
Another thought on doing the Inkie to
LED conversion is getting BA-15d adaptors. I believe they exist from the above website. Given the tower would
block light, instead ignore the
reflector.
I did this in G-4
base to some Juno lights on some museum project.
