1000w SON gear board
|
This is a brand new old stock 1000w SON ballast I ordered in specially for the Soldi & Scatti - Solcam DSC1000 lantern, and once arrived I quickly got to making a new gear board for it. The first thing that struck me about the ballast is just how bloody heavy it is, the screws in the wooden backboard in the display column certainly bend when this boards hung off them, so for obvious reasons this won't be hung off the door of the lanterns shed cause I think it'd pull the door off the hinges...
Off Dez's advice I wired in 100uf of capacitors, obviously I didn't have anything remotely close to that rating in a singular piece, so I made a bracket to take 4 25uf capacitors, all wired in series. 1000w Igniters have to be as close to the lamp as possible, hence why there's no igniter fitted here, which is good really else the whole board would have been hanging out the column door.
