Hello everyone,
I have a strange situation with my 26 degree Source Four lekos. I have 6 of them and they all seem to have the same issue. They are burning through color gel extremely fast. When dropping a dark gel (like Rosco Congo Blue) they are burning through in 5-10 seconds. This is with the lens tube fully extended. I'm lamped with GE HPL 575s. Thinking that this was odd, I took one of my instruments to Barbizon to have them look at it. We compared it to one of their S4 Lekos. When using the same gel on both my instrument was burning through in seconds but theirs didn't after 5-10 minutes. Barbizon verified that my instrument was adjusted correctly. They couldn't come up with any reason mine was running so much hotter. A call to ETC didn't shed any light (sorry for the pun) on the issue either. So I left that instrument at Barbizon for their tech services department to work on. But do any of you have any thoughts on this problem?
