Re: Let talk lights...
You're very welcome, thanks for watching and using the forum.
That is a very intense projection bulb for large format graphic industrial printing. You may be able to use it but you will need a vacuum table that swings into the beam of the unit however it is configured. Normally it is placed about 8 feet away and projected onto a vacuum table with glass that swings vertical.
So you're going to need to figure out how you want to use it. Most people use a vacuum frame.
What you have is killer but a bit over kill for a beginner.

Re: Let talk lights...
That's the light, however mine has chain on the lamp part like it was ment to hang from the ceiling. That's a really cool vacuum table, (I may have to borrow the design) I also have welders for making some equipment,(wire feed and gas). Although "T"s are not my primary goal, it seems like a good place to start, and of course buy what supplies I can from....Catspitt productions!!!, So I do the ad/pose thing (I'm such a dork) ....Anyway Olite seems to be a defunct company and consequently I cant find a manual, recommended bulbs , safety precautions, or some kind of option package to operate this thing from another room (at least get it to spark.), its like it never existed ( ideas anyone?).

You could check with Douthitt. They may be able to help with accessories for that unit.
