Exposure Unit Recommendations
« on: Yesterday at 01:41:31 PM »
So we currently run an Amergraph 755, with a 7500w metal halide unit.  The power supply is dying and the company is long gone.  I contacted the company that replaced them HID Ventures about getting a replacement PS. In case they don't have them or they aren't made, I need a few recommendations for a new unit.

I know Pierre tested some of the LED units and found a hot spot across the field.  I'd prefer to stick with single point, and I have enough power run to that location to run a large bulb like that.

We run a wax Douthitt CTS unit, so no film.

Thanks!

-outside looking in- are you doing Pierre type prints?.... We have a DTS along with Starlight, no glass, no film.. wouldn't change a thing. It's been over 10 years and our times haven't changed at all. I'm not smart enough to sort through the info of single point vs LED, I just know I like to eliminate variables so I have less demons to fight.

We aren't, but we do a fair amount of sim process.

I checked with Douthitt and they sell a single point LED with a timer that would be cheaper to slap into our unit than trying to fix it or way better than replacing the entire unit.

We'll probably go that route, it also frees up some space in the electrical panel for other upgrades.

well that answers that question! Good move, if we were in the market for anything, Douthitt would be the way....
