Author Topic: Venting lamphouses Philippe Laude Film Handler Posts: 79 From: Longueville, Belgium Registered: Jul 99 posted 04-29-2003 02:41 AM                     Vent it! Definitely, because venting the lamphouse is cooling the bulb and thus increasing its life, and yours!  |  IP: Logged Dan Lyons Jedi Master Film Handler Posts: 698 From: Seal Beach, CA Registered: Sep 2002 posted 04-29-2003 03:15 AM                     ... but what about all the portable xenon machines that are not vented, such as the Eikis and Elmos for 16mm, and the portable 35mm such as Westar (and a few other chinese ones) ???  |  IP: Logged John Anastasio Master Film Handler Posts: 325 From: Trenton, NJ, USA Registered: Sep 2000 posted 04-29-2003 05:08 AM                        They have much smaller lamps, which produce less ozone. They're not in constant use, like a booth machine. Usually they're not in a booth at all, but out in the open where there's plenty of air replenishment. In installations where they're enclosed, it's best to have them under a vented hood. One of the biggest offenders in small offices is the copy machine. The corona wires inside create ozone and the machines can irritate the heck out of your eyes.  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 04-29-2003 09:21 AM                        Ozone you breathe = BAD (harmful to health) Ozone in stratosphere = GOOD (reduces harmful UV radiation) http://www.epa.gov/newsroom/headline_042203.htm http://millimeter.com/ar/video_kodak_receives_epa/index.htm  |  IP: Logged Philippe Laude Film Handler Posts: 79 From: Longueville, Belgium Registered: Jul 99 posted 05-02-2003 09:00 AM                     John, I second what you wrote but do you remember that a few years ago you could buy machines producing ozone in almost every general stores? They were sold as "refreshing the air" and "good for your health".  |  IP: Logged John Pytlak Film God Posts: 9987 From: Rochester, NY 14650-1922 Registered: Jan 2000 posted 05-02-2003 09:14 AM                        quote: ...a few years ago you could buy machines producing ozone in almost every general stores?
