Strong Adds New Metal Halide Model to Spotlight Family
The new model 4100 Strong 575 Metal Halide follow spotlight is
especially designed for throws in the range of 80 to 150 feet. This
new Metal Halide spot features Strong's exclusive single lever controlled two element variable focal length lens system. It includes a
built-in six color boomerang; a fadeout system; horizontal masking
control and Nichrome steel iris. A cold coated metal reflector contributes to longer lamp life. The lamp is easily removed for relamping and
transportation. The new system includes quick restart, an hour meter,
and a 575 Watt Metal Halide Lamp. The 115 volt power supply draws
6-7 amps. The unit provides a small spot intensity of 255 foot candles
at a 100 foot throw. For further information, write Strong Electric, 15
City Park Ave., Toledo, OH 43697.

High-Output, Energy-Saving Sylvania Studio Lamp
GTE announces a Sylvania fill-light for film, theatrical and television
use. Known as the 575-watt Brite-Arc Studio Lamp, the new light
source provides 85 lumens of light per watt, which is approximately
four times higher in efficiency than incandescent or tungsten-halogen
studio lamps. A medium-are-length light source, the new 575-watt
Brite-Arc Lamp, which provides twice as much light as a 1500-watt
tungsten-halogen lamp, is filtered for daylight at a balanced color temperature of 5600 degrees Kelvin. Color temperature remains in the
daylight range throughout the average rated life. In addition, lumen
output remains relatively unchanged throughout average rated life.
Sylvania Brite-Arc lamps are compactly designed for use in follow
spots, broads and fresnels designed for use with HMI-type lamps.
They may be mounted in any position. For further information, write
Sylvania Lighting Center, Danvers, MA 01923.

Mic Cable Tester

The Zee Ultra-Wide Safety Spectacle
The new Zee Safety Glasses are designed by the Stansbury Company of Beverly Hills. The new coated lens is virtually unbreakable. It
is made of three millimeter thick optical grade Polycarbonate substrate. It is stronger and three times lighter in weight than glass, and
also coated with a special scratch resistant material. The glasses are
styled like regular sunglasses; available lens colors are clear, amber,
green and grey. The lenses are secured in a deep groove to stop them
from ever being pushed through the frame on impact, yet are easily
removed and replaced without the use of special tools or equipment.
They meet the latest ANSI and OSHA requirements. The lens has a
full 59mm of visibility for maximum vision (standard lenses are only
48mm). The frames are fully adjustable, providing for a custom fit, as
the temples are on a ··snap-pivot" and the sides telescope independently. The frames are unbreakable, lightweight, and non-flammable.
For further information, write The Stansbury Company, 9304 Santa
Monica Blvd., Beverly Hills, CA 90210.

USITI /Fall, 1980

Wireworks Corporation announces the TE-2 Mic Cable Tester. The
model TE-2 features: immediate display of shorts, open circuits and
out-of-phase wiring, single handed operation, rugged steel enclosure,
compact pocket size, reliable PC board construction, positive action
switches, black textured finish, simple operation and long life LED display.
A new test mode checks for conductors shorted to the case of
XLR-3 type connectors. This feature exposes the ground to case
shorts, often the cause of ground-loop problems. TE-2 incorporates
quarter-inch phone connectors which expand its capabilities for direct
testing of phone-to-phone cables and any combinations of XLR/3-tophone cable arrangements. It is powered by one nine-volt battery (included) with an average test life of over one thousand cables. For additional information, contact Wireworks Corporation, 380 Hillside
