Can this light be left on continuously?

Can this light be left on continuously?
Asked by: Taylor
This would really depend on the details of what is meant by "continuously." For a variety of reasons an LED option would likely be the better solution for long-term use. This may be an application that would benefit from further discussion. If possible please contact me to go over the details. I can be reached by phone or email. -Tom Casazza 804-349-3453 [email protected]

question

Is it possible to fit barn doors and a metal wire scrim in the slot at the same time?
Asked by: Orin
The Altman 65Q is only designed to hold one accessory at a time. The Altman 1KAF Fresnel is an alternate option that does ship with a Safety Screen and has a double accessory slot to allow for the use of the screen and a barndoor at the same time. <a href= http://www.altmanlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/1KAF.pdf target= _blank >http://www.altmanlighting.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/04/1KAF.pdf</a>

question

What softbox or diffuser to use with this light? I am hanging it from the ceiling and need a softer shadow on my greenscreen and subjects.
Asked by: Palmer S.
It is not designed for a softbox, however the included accessory or gel frame can be used. Simply buy a few small sheets of diffusion from B & H and insert into gel frame. You can also buy black wrap to take light spill away from certain areas of the fixture - and you can also use it as a cheap cutter . The sample packs of diffusion from B & H are ideal - they include the heavier 250 and go all the way to light diffusions like Hampshire and Opal .

question

What kind of bulbs to use for this product?
Asked by: Ricardo S.
I decided I didn't need the full rated 750 watt BTP so I went with the 500 watt BTL. This lamp has been around for years and the actual output difference between 500 and 750 watts isn't that much I think the slightly cooler running and less current draw of the BTL was enough for my use. I use the 65Q in a more or less fixed position, for portable lighting I have a collection of ARRI fresnels which have been great. My experience runs from older Colortran (1kw and 2kw) fresnels to a preference for Mole Richardson fresnels, they last an actual life time. But for limited use/projects the 65Q is a bargan.
