Ace_3000....pictures of Projector?

[part2wanksta]

ya wanna sell that to me ace. is that for a mogul base bulb

[I_eat_flowers]

heya trev,

you're alive. :-)

that's a nice new light engine and I can confirm, that this combination has an equivalent output to a 250W HQI-TS. Unfortunately I had not a dichro reflector and therefor it was a heat smasher. fine that you've found the proper one.
Is it one dremeled of a lamp anybody can find in a online-shop?

Pretty sure it aint dremeled off a light from a store I_eat_flowers lol...Trev forked out big $$$'s for it (big bucks for a reflector that is) I'll leave it to him to give out the cost if he's willing to do so :-)

[I_eat_flowers]

I bet he won't. ;-)
Anyhow, it's up to him.
A dichroic PAR30 will do also, but not as good as Trev's supposeingly will. We will se.

Indeed it is looking good .. very "Trevlike" indeed mate hehe...but its really what we have come to expect from you Trev, your work has that pro finish no doubt. Don't know about others on the forum but I for one attempt to replicate the finish you achieve ... all to easily it seems :-p I guess you have been doing it for years though and it certainly shows with the research, finished product and the overall results you achieve. Your both knowledgeable and gifted with your hands Trev and certainly an asset to the forum mate...keep up the good work Trev, shall be watching with a keen eye and a fingers poised over the ctrl+c keys hehe...

p.s we can all be thankful that the reflector only reflects light well and not Trevs image ...hahaha soz mate couldn't resist that jibe :-p

Thanks for the nice wrds mate , much apreciated. Anyone can get a nice finnish!!! just look at yours!!! Taking your time is the key to both acuracy and finnish . (theres about 24-36 hrs in that light unit and it was rushed).

Heya IEF, good to see ya mate, its a bought one buddy. Cost was around us$100 with shipping, pricey but worth it.

I have tried just about every shop light available in this country and europe, all types and paid alot of money, none cut the ace tests. By far the ellipsidal is brighter, even against another pro parabolic i have here that i was once considering using.

The light difference these fellows reflect is amazing, ( more then i would have thought). For a comparison on the par30 reflectors, there is none. The par 30 is about the same brightness as a 250w standard setup, (standard way people do things now). This one is about 3x brighter then that on par with me condensing the 250w lamps arc, and better yet its possible to get this light even brighter with a condenser!!! Though, unfortunatley, the CDM-T isnt good for this as the lamps arc tube isnt clear. That may sound far fetched, buts its the truth, hands down this reflector is the winner by a long shot.

When using parabolics or ellipsidals, make sure you run your bulb with the arc running through the reflector and not have it sideways as its more eficient, (i did see a document on this somewhere ill have to dig it out). It makes the world of difference.

As for the heat, dont be fooled, this thing at its F2 will burn your hand in a second, (funny enough it dont burn paper though ). The lcd gets about the same amount of heat as a 250w though ill run a cold mirror at its focal to soon cut this back.

Hi Trev,

Whew!!! Finally made myself up to date with your work after 8 months of trying, Can u belive that?lol!

I really enjoy reading your thread because i somewhat share the same passion that you had demonstrated with your work.

Sometimes i feel like watching at the ring side of the boxing arena waiting for a big fight to explode. lol! But as always, in a civilized society, right minded people will always prevail.

Just a suggestion as stated by others, website is a must for you. It will save you a lot of time, Its the reason why i immediately set-up a website. It is not perfect, atleast for a common question, i don't need to be ask the same question all over again and writing the same answer again and again.

I guess you will just have to put a " Ace projector development thread" in the forum but no comments and question will be posted in that thread so that there will be no unnecessary information so any newbies will really have an easy time understanding what you are doing. Questrions,comments or any clarfication should be ask in a different thread. If you made an error, you can edit it easily.

I got this idea from a newbie who complained to me that he had spent considerable time ( a lot of sleepless night! ), money and effort to read voluminous thread but only ended up confused in the end. We do have different level of understanding so i guess more and more people will be happy with your wonderful contribution in this project if you can make their life a little comfortable.

I hope i won't be misunderstood with my suggestion. I believe, in the end, you will reap the full benefits of helping other people..

I have a lot of clarificatin to ask but i guess it all for now. I am a dead man right now after reading it all !lol!
