Hey guys how is it going..(whats going on jingles haven't been on here for ages .... Salute to you sir.)
So how many of you have thought of replacing the regular yellow bulb from a scanner ?? i just purchased few used Martin SCX600 fixtures and i m not too happy with the yellow bulb. i have been DS "fan boy" all along so i was wondering if we can change the regular yellow bulb from the fixture to white bulbs?? any input on that.. let me know what you guys think.. also i m trying to make the profile for the fixtures so i will send it to you for review jingles

If you are talking color temperature wise, there isn't a lot you can do. They use halogen lamps, which run in the 2500K-3500K color temperature range. You can't put a discharge lamp (5500K-12000K) in there since it isn't setup for that. Pure white would be around 4500K.

They only thing you can do is use standard lamp life lamps vs long life. For example, there is a short life ELC with a color temperature of 3400K that would work/fit in the fixture, but lamp life is only 50 hours. There are a few others out there, 500 hour and 700 hour. They might work a little better for what you are looking to do.

Da Menace how's it going? Long time. Actually we have profiles for the SCX600. You should have them in your library.
Sincerely,

Lol, I am good. Getting ready for September, have quite a few things going on. Good to hear you as well. Glad you are keeping busy at least, even if it is the crazy kind. Understand the work/school thing, royal pain when I did it myself for a while.

Yea, that is about the best color temperature you are going to get for that fixture. You can also try a CTB filter. Get some 1/3 blue or 1/2 blue. That takes 3200K and ups it to 3800K or 4100K receptively. Just be aware since it is a filter, it actually cuts the intensity down. Since it is blocking out light to get a 3200K source to look like 3800K or 4100K. Though it may look 'brighter' depending on what else is on in the room.

yes sir... well i am not to sure if i am gonna go along with the whole putting the filter or on n all or what not as its not "that serious." i might change the bulbs but if its not gonna make much of a difference i am not too sure about that either but hey thanks for the info i really do appreciate you guys.. And i m glad to hear that you r doing well and have stuff lined up for september n all. let me know if you are coming around north jersey for a gig or want not and if u need a helping hand.. well the most i can probably do for you is carry cables but still you know lol

Jingles i did find the fixture profile now how do i save it on my computer?

I looked at the manual link you posted. See the first half of the values are Straight color. The second half if i am understanding it correctly is color indexing for split colors. However let me check our profile and if all looks good i will just email it to you.
Sincerely,

Sent ya an email on how to get the profiles onto your pc then the software.

you are the man Jingles!! i think i got it on my PC thanks a lot budd..

No problem.
Sincerely,

SerraAve Sir i Had a question for you.. now i am not too sure if i am allowed to ask on here or what not and i was tryign to send you an email from your profile but no luck but if you can please shoot me an e mail on Menace09@gmail.com that would be awesome or if you dont mind giving me ur e mail i can send you an email
