My new light

SO, I got the goboman light yesterday. I set it up and it was very nice for the price. I got nice, clean edges, and reasonably bright. I even had the image about 5' wide.... I was quite happy.... then after about 3 minutes, the lamp blew out! :sqfrown:

Guess I'll be calling the goboman on Monday.

Shouldn't a bulb last longer than 3 minutes? Is it even a regular bulb? I never opened it up to look.
 
hey steve, do you get those light bulbs for your Chauvet lights from home depot??

BTW.... Im still using my origional bulb that came with my Goboman light.
 
Well that’s a funny question....

Normally I try to get $75.00 . That is the advertised price... however, I have included it for free to secure the deal.... this happens more times then not. SO I usually included it for nada, if they book with me now... kind of thing.

Most people are cheap and as you know most all DJs are worst than the customers they bitch about. When buying my Denon Gear I didnt say umm how much of a discount can ya give me. Though knowing ballpark price on each piece of equipment I told my preferred vendor and sponsor here Ben at NLFX to send a HD2500, x900 mixer, tfuhrman unit the 4500 CD deck unit and the audissey case etc he asked me if I wanted the price. I didnt need one I knew he would take care of me and even if it was more than x Y and Z I could care less cause I know he will take care for a lifelong relationship versus a five minute sales call to get my bank card info etc. My point is perceived value is so different than lasting Value..

Scottie, you can get the 2-prong with no surround 50 & 75 watt bulbs at Home Depot but not the 250 watt bulbs for the Omega's or any other DJ type fixture.

Really? Cool... I'll have to check.
 
Now, that's very interesting...

I scrapped the first projector I had, cause it didn't work. I just ordered a "Image Pro" from Ben, and the slide or gobo is out on the slides a few inches, away from the front lens as shown.

As soon as I get it, I'll post some pictures, but the bulb is 300 watts. It has several accessories besides a rotating gobo holder and a slide holder that rotates between three 35mm slides. Ben assures me that it will accept transparencies.

now your cookin!! I really think that having a 300w unit that you can custom create your own gobos by way of transperencies would the the sure fire way to go! Im looking forward to the pictures, and feed back!!
 
I just picked up the one from IKEA and am very impressed with it's build, all solid metal and features a glass lens.

It projects the stock steel gobos very well and soon I'll be trying it with a transparency made on my bubble-jet printer. It has a 50 watt bulb but can be replaced with a 75 is desired I believe... It's a standard Home Depot bulb.
