Its very close in color temp to the Kinoton glass reflectors that I've measured. That slightly colder color temp also causes less heating of the film, less flutter of the film in the gate and a resulting sharper image. Thats is one thing which is not "apparent" but real! I will chime in too and say that you will find more Christie Lamphouses/consoles than any other brand in Hollywoods finest venues. Mark  |  IP: Logged Steve Guttag We forgot the crackers Gromit!!!

Kionton is definately the coolest, then Strong...Christie is significantly hotter. Just run some Schneider film Mark on a Christie...do the same on a Strong...note the difference.
