The big daddy is here! This is a Tri Lite / Tripp Lite Mark XII rotating beacon. Unit has 2 GE 4435 PAR 46, 12 Volt 35 watt lamps (can be upgraded to 50 or 100 watt lamps if transformer is upgraded * NOTE Dome Could Melt if Running for Long Periods of Time With Upgraded Lamps!!). The lamps rotate at about 40 - 45 RPM. I plan on placing some gels inside the dome for an extra cool effect! Very cool light! Unit made in Chicago, IL here in the US.
I have two of the Tri Lite Mark 12 beacons in red and blue and they are really awesome in person! I've used in them at school dances and in a band I was part of all during high school and they do throw the light great. They are even better with fog in tighter rooms. Yours has a cooling fan feature I've never seen before and looks a little older than mine, but they are pretty much the same!
ReplyDeleteThe older Mark 12s when they were Tripp Lites had the round bulb-holding plates and they had the capacity for 4 par 46 bulbs to be placed in the beacon. Of course, I hear those were a pain to change bulbs out on versus the C-channel bulb holder the Mark 12 currently uses now. Still the biggest beacons to get out there, and well worth it too!
