Red One and LTM HMI lights w/ magnetic ballasts

[Curtis Jensen]

I was looking into purchasing some old LTM HMI lights with magnetic ballasts and was wondering how they get along with the Red camera? Is there any noticeable flicker at any of the HMI safe camera speeds (i.e. 24, 30, 60, 120, etc)?

On a side note, does anyone know of an online store that sells affordable 1200w DE bulbs. I've been told you can pick them up for $95 or so, but haven't had much luck locating any shops online that sell the bulbs for under $130.

Thanks very much,
Curtis

Ebay. Lots of HMI globes there. Also, for all HMI repairs, the spot is Galaxy HMI Repair.

Magnetic ballasts work fine if you follow the rules on rate and shutter.

Give the guys below a call, I get all my HMI SE globes there and they have good prices, I suppose they may have HMI DE but I am not sure.
