There is a search engine here. Type in ORC and it will show you every time the brand "ORC" has been mentioned and provide you with links.

Luther, That cracked lans is quite pricey new. Hopefully you can find a used one. If you can't you can put it abck together with red high temp silicon. Believe it or not that will work fine in most cases as long as you have all the pieces. This is quite common in LuMex lamphouses running 2kw.

Mark..the lens is still in place and pretty solid...You can use it this way?...It is just cracked....A bulb blew up( I was told) and cracked it in a few places...It is still intact...MIKE
