JoLeko 800 Options

[Michael Panfeld]

I know that there are at least two kits to allow you to use a Joker 800 in a Source Four Leko: The one from K5600 and one from Concept Lighting (http://www.conceptlight.com/bugabeam.html).

I think there may be others and, I have read that there some issues with the K5600 kit. Not ones that are causing problems, but were related to ease of use. But alas, I lost the research from a few years ago and, google now gives a million hits.

Any opinions on these two options? Any that I am missing?

Much thanks.

Jeff: yes, I did read that beforehand. For the 400, definitely the K500 adapter is the one and only choice. For the 800 there are non-K5600 options. I was looking for comparisons between the K5600 kit and the one I found, as well as any others I may have missed. Thanks

I use the K5600 adapter kit with my 800s. Installs easily. Works great! Love me some Jo-Leko!!!

I believe the controversy surrounds the heat dissipation. It's pretty borderline insanity, but the results from this setup is worth the risk!

Hey guys just wanted to ask you all two questions. I know M David Mullen Asc like's this setup very much also. I can't wait to use this set up my self I have also heard Russell Carpenter Asc talking about it as well. I am a friend of the Asc. What I wanted to ask was can you easily adapt the Joker Bug with the adapters available when renting a Joker Bug kit to a source 4/ Lecko if you own the Leko? And can any of you share some links to buy just the Leckos / Soure 4's, without the lighting part real cheap or wholesale at deep discounts?
