as stated i have 2 christie 2210s not showing light levels on the tpc in the lampinfo screen . does anyone have any idea what could be causing this and none of my 2210s are reading over 10fl most around 6fl to be specific. how can i squeeze any more light out of them thanks

Are you sure they were ever calibrated? And even calibrated they are not accurate and their accuracy is but for one zoom position.

unfortunately not and i know its not an accurate reading. we were with Christie noc for a long time and when the contract was ending we all of a sudden had issues

Using these light levels is more or less pointless. If you're interested in actual light levels on screen, you should probably buy a decent light meter.
