Blitz Short Arc--The King of Throw HID Killer
本帖最后由 ma_sha1 于 2011-6-4 16:51 编辑Introducing my Short-arc spotlight using P-VIP lamp from DLP projector.
The P VIP & UHP lamp technology has 10 times higher surface brightness than HID lamps,
therefor project lights 10 times longer than HID.
This light will beat the 400W HID in throw!
This light is called Moon Blaster.The Moon Blaster name
was inspired by this thread Maxa Beam vs. the Moon:
The photo was amazing:http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/...d.php?t=199795
The host:
I know I wanted to go with 9" reflector host.Not sure which one I want to go with, I got both.I compared the popular 15Millip CP Thor style host (A Camo Thor clone in the photo) Lightforce Blitz 240 before deciding to go with Blitz for 3 reasons:
1, It looks a lot smaller than the Thor 15 Mil type
2, The reflector looks like much better quality
3, It has Focus ability, at this level of CPs, a proper re-focus upon target distance change can easily gain a few million cps.

The Ballast:
Again, I am taking the Ballast from DLP Projector.Instead of short the lamp On signal, I wired a switch to it, so I can shut the lampkeep the fan running for the after-cool (the redyellow Wire).I also kept the small board above the ballast that supplies 12v to the Fanskept the two fans for collling the ballast.

I used the same switch as factory onemounted at where the VGA port used to be to make it look natural (The Switch on Top)

Testing with the Factory P-VIP lamp that came with the Projector:Everything works!http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/evilgrin07.gif

One more thing I should mention:MY ballast has two Lamp control Signal
that need to be tricked. Besides the one I wired a switch on (Jumper the out put legs of Opto coupler), there was another trigger that was originally wired to a factory momentary switch.That switch will only be pressed when the OEM lamp is installed. When lamp door is open, it wont fire up.A safely feature I suspect may be on quite a few DLP projector models.I cut the wiressoldered them together (The white piece with two brawntwo blue wires, the momentary switch has two set of wires, no idea why).

The lamp:
This is the same lamp as used in the Mega Blaster, 120W P-VIP P24 1.0mm short arc lamp,
So I am not go to repeat the specs here. However, for use with Blitz, I must take the bulb out of the built-in reflector.
The two Bulb I peeled:left Philips UHP 120W, Right Osram P-VIP 120W
I'll be using the P-VIP as it has a smaller arccleaner arc chamber, possible less hours on it (Both lamps were used with unkown hours)

The Blitz Blitz 100W lamp holder is Bi-Pin, I needed to re-mount the P-VIP lamp with a ceramic holder. After extensive internetebay search:Look what I found:A Ceramic Tube Socket that I think its going to work!
I got the 12 Pin style that has an diameter almost perfect fit for the Blitz,
took some pins out, kept a few to allow me to pulladjust while testing it.

Test fittingmaking sure the Arc location is where the factory bulb filament used to be, so I know its within factory focus range.
http://img225.imageshack.us/img225/4765/dscf8759.jpg
The lamp is potted to the center hole using Automotive Exhaust Potty with a home made aluminum spacer. Now, I need to let it cure overnight.http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/rolleye11.gif
http://img577.imageshack.us/img577/92/dscf8760.jpg
I bored out the Blitz metal socket so that I can sit the Ceramic socket in it,
This way, the lamp can sit 1/4" more forward & fall into the Reflector focus zone.

Extending the filament:
This is a challenge I had to over come, the exotic metal lead wire istoo short as it was originally connected for tiny reflector side walls. I need to extend it.I don't think copper or alu. wires can withstandthe 200F heat right next to the
arc, so I decided to sacrifize one of my 75W HID bulbs & the Ceramic wrapped lead wire:
I had to break the HID bulb but it'snot under high pressure as the UHP/P VIP bulbs are, so it won't explode.

Finally, it's all done & ready to do battle with the Maxa Beam:
Left is Moon Blaster & Right is Maxa Beam:
http://img4.imageshack.us/img4/6120/dscf8854s.jpg
The Beam shot is taken at 10 meters (33 feet) & exposure is set at 1/1000 of sec super low exposure so that I can avoid over exposure & tell the spot intensity apart.
Left=Moon Blaster, Right= Maxa Beam (On burst, 75W mode)
The Moon Blaster spot is so much more intense than Maxa Beam, it's not even funny.
http://img715.imageshack.us/img715/8386/dscf8850p.jpg
Zoom in to see the spot better:The Moon Blaster hot spot core issmaller than the Maxa Beam's with much higher intensity.It has some corona,I think due to the reflector quality is not as good as Maxa Beam reflector. High precision shiot-arc reflectors can collinmate all lights into the spot. The Blitz reflector, although much better than other spotlights, its still not a perfect4th degree parabola & thus can not collinmate 100% of the lights into the spot, but it does a pretty good job considering the cost. Precison short arc reflectors in this size will cost $600 to $800 alone.http://www.candlepowerforums.com/vb/images/smilies/eek.gif

That's it folks E文不懂 图还挂了 {:1_272:} Hi ma_sha1:Glad to see you here{:1_206:}
The Pics can not display properly ah Sorry I couldn't post in Chinese.
Maybe someone can translate & post a few key bullet points?
This light is measured at 16,100,000 beam candle power (16.1 million lux@1 meter) Hi ma_sha1:Glad to see you here{:1_206:}

Hi Ethen,
Glad to see you here, your post about Firefox 1 on CPF led me here :)
Can you see any of the pictures? I can see all the pictures.
Maybe you can post a few bullet points in Chinese explain what this is?
I haven't seen any short Arc mods on this Forum, wanted to share that there's
brighter lights out there than HID :)
The pictures are in these 2 threads:

The server is imageshack.com in the US, may be that's the problem?
But I can see it, that's really strange.
Where should I host the picture to make it show up for you guys? 说的什么呢??????????{:1_241:} {:1_218:} 本帖最后由 ma_sha1 于 2011-6-5 19:40 编辑
Test shoudian upload of some photos less than 120K 书到用时方恨少。。。 靠靠靠！啥外形？聚光真酷 How much the power ? light travels about1.5km?
my english is so poor...
ID多记不住 发表于 2011-6-5 21:38 http://www.shoudian.org/images/common/back.gif
The Power is 120 Watt, paired up with a large Blitz 9 inch reflector.
But power is not everything, what's more important is that it used a P-VIP High Pressure Mercury short arc lamp,
which allows ~7000 lumens to beemitted on 1mm short arc source.
(35W HID has 5mm arc, higher power HID will have even longer arc. For examplea 75W HID could deliver over 7000 lumens, but with
a 6mm arc, it'll be only 1166 lumens per 1 mm arc, therefore, deliver only 1/6 the surface brightness of the P-VIP lamp).
The P-VIP lamp has one of the highest surface brightness, much higher than HID, even higher than traditional Xenon short arc lamp.
That's the reason that this light can throw so far.
At 1.5 Km, you can see how bright the target got lit-up, this light should have no problem
travel twice of that distance, i.e. It could project over 3Km & still lit up target nicely. 靠靠靠！啥外形？聚光真酷

Thanks!
Here are pictures of the light I was able to upload, I had to reduce the size to fit shoudian site requirements: OH MY GOD! 手电的发光强度只取决于两个因素：和发光体的表面亮度成正比，和口径的平方成正比，所以两个都大的，发光强度很恐怖。 发光强度很恐怖
