aonde você achou esses dois

[@ianbaker3872]

Very helpful & informative. I am new at DMX and am very interested at the insides of what I am using, thx.

[@lasiusfrimus]

What problem if bottom fan not working?

[@andrewgrindley6773]

It looks similar to a Mac 250 Entour/Krypton. The base is different though and the lamp is a 575 watt as opposed to a 250 watt.

[@adamrollin8700]

How do you know the fan is not spinning properly? (7:43)

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

Hi, when I turned the fan I could feel that the bearings are worn out. You will know when you feel it.

[@praestant8]

Yep, large magnetic ballast for the HMI lamp. This fixture has been around a few years.

[@LS-jk3fk]

what distor do you use for above 120v fixtures that aren't overpriced?

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

Hi Lyle, we use 240V 50Hz where I live. I think you can try ebay but I honestly have no idea where you can get ones for the north american electrical system.

[@LS-jk3fk]

@@ChristopherdeVilliers which one exactly? I'm getting some martin mac's and pretty scared. also wondering if I can plug the distor int oa surge protector? Can't hardwire anything.

[@croissantproductions]

If they are Macs than it should explain how to switch the running voltage in the user manual

[@AOAvina]

What types of motors do they typically use on dj lights? And what lubricant can I use on them?

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

The majority of stage lights use stepper motors. I have not seen any that do not. I would recommend a light grease. Would not recommend a spray like WD40 or Q20

[@LS-jk3fk]

@@ChristopherdeVilliers Hi. I'd still really like some help from my other comment, searching for a good distro, recently got a light that has l620 twist lock, did a few hour sof rsearch and nothing except f or twist lock plugs, I mean an actual distro that I could plug multiple fixtures into. i know you said you use 240v 50hz, but I'm wondering what *exactly* you are using, like what brand and like I said, maybe some inexpensive ones? I'd really appreciate, thanks.

[@AOAvina]

Christopher de Villiers thank you so much, do you know what type of grease (brands) are typically good for this application? I know there are so many types and mixing them is bad so I want to be able to identify it.

Stage lights are very important for concerts

[@2006ToyotaMatrix]

One of my 575w HTL Moving head lights have a cooling fan problem and the fans don't work so that means the lamp could get killed by its heat

[@sonidobuster4741]

i have the Mac Krypton 250 and i get the RGER error the magnetic indexing circuit malfunction ( e-g sensor defective or magnet missing) did you know where is that sensor? Located?

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

Hi Sonido, firstly I have to state that I am not at all familiar with that unit, but all of these machines have a mechanism to index where the unit is throughout its movement. The unit I had just used a switch but better units will probably have opto or magnetic sensors. See if Martin have a service manual available for your unit. It might have a section for indexing troubleshooting. Then I'd recommend you figure out if the sensor is faulty. Sometimes a good cleaning will fix the problem. Sometimes not. I will read up a bit and respond later

[@sonidobuster4741]

Christopher de Villiers thank you so much I appreciate your help i will clean the sensors I hope that’s the problem 😃

[@sonidobuster4741]

Christopher de Villiers thank you for the info

[@noegonzalez7087]

It's possible to replace the 575 light bulb to LED light

[@paradieshenne]

No, because the HMI has a different colorspectrum (the intensity of the different wavelength) than an led.

[@djedson7719]

Well actually yes you can it’s possible cause I did it on a chines knock off and it worked it wasn’t as bright as the standard 575 lamp but it got quieter

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

Hi I also thought about doing something like that but honestly, I think it is just too much effort. You would also need to get a very bright AND GOOD QUALITY LED and driver. At the end of the day I would just buy something form Chauvet or ADJ that is already LED. I tried using a 50W LED instead of the HMI bulb and it was so dim and the colours were awful.

[@srbaudiobhuban6046]

Sir I want this bulb how to ican found

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

Hi, I would have a look on ebay. They are not very special

[@gSunil-ui9zr]

How to single light moving

[@paradieshenne]

Never short the pins of any chip. it can be deadly for them

[@ChristopherdeVilliers]

That is probably a good idea ;)

[@abecoulter18]

It's called a lamp not bulb

[@paradieshenne]

Thats why i scrolled down to the comment section too...
