Lycian Clubspot Lamp Upgrade

[malex]

We have two Lycian Clubspot followspots that are far underpowered for the 75'+ throw that they have been put into service for. I would love to help them out with an upgrade.
These fixtures call for an FLE lamp. 82V 360W GY5.3 base.

I've also used the identical (as far as I can tell) 82V 360W ENX lamp.

There is a similar lamp that is 82V 410W FXL lamp that would certainly work in the fixture, but may be more wattage than is advisable. There is a lot of space in the lamp housing and a pretty high output fan in there, so I'm imagining it would deal with 12% more heat without a problem. Wondering more about the transformer and wiring.

Has anyone helped these fixtures out with additional lumens?

Use the FXL. The extra 50W/0.5A is negligible electrically. The Altman Comet is designed around the same source and does list FXL as an alternate lamp. It's possible the FXL wasn't available when the Clubspot was introduced, and/or Lycian never bothered with the expense to have the unit listed, by NTRL with that lamp.

Check brands carefully. Intensity (lumens) and life (hours) seem to vary greatly across manufacturers with these types of lamps. I thought the ANSI code was suppose to prevent that.

Thank, Derek.
I see this has been done before. These are some pretty ancient ClubSpots. Would make sense that it wouldn't list new lamps as a possible light source.

Apologies for resurrecting an old thread, but has anyone tried these in a Phoebus Ultra Quartz or Quarts2? I've got both units in the theater and they have very different power supplies.

As the 2 is a more modern unit but doesn't list theFXL I was concerned that it may be an issue.

Inqueries to the manufacturer have gone nowhere as the spotlight business has been divided up.

I will go out on a limb and say that if the Quartz2 is designed for the ENX lamp, and FXL would be no problem. The voltages are the same, and there will be minimal additional load on electrical components. Heat load for an ENX/FXL isn't that much, either.
