I’ve got multiple lamphouses around, some of the shorter (up to 2000w) ones, and some of the longer (2000-7000w) ones.

My question is: is it simply a physical extension, and can you simply remove the extension if you only want to use 1500-2000w lamps in the longer lamphouse? Or is there more to it than just the extension?

It's more. The reflectors are different to have the different (significantly) working distances.

Bugger. I figured that might be the case. Thank you.

Adam, I have done what you ask about.
A Kinoton 7K lamphouse with the collar on.
I use a Kinoton lamp adapter to mount the 1600W bulb with.
Works great on a 5m wide screen, throw 10m.
Should be easy to make the adapter in a machine shop.

The adapter you are trying to make is the 1000 404 57021
