Broken dynamo mirror - help!

[jamie.t294]

Hi,

I took my lights to a venue today to set up for a concert. When i got there i found one of my dynamo mirrors had been broken in transport or in unpacking. I need to know how I can get my hands on another mirror and what steps i can take to stop this happening again. I have arriba flight bags instead of flight cases as they are easier for me. Any suggestions?


Thanks


Jamie

I would say either get a mirror cut and made to fit the unit, or talk to prolight.

Hi,

Phoning prolight would be good, but they dont have a phone number. I might get a mirror cut, sounds like a good idea.

Thanks

Look on eBay for "plastic mirror tiles" they are £1.20 each

They are small square tiles and you can get 3 or 4 mirrors out of each one.

We use them (not on all lights) and the effect is exactly the same as a normal glass mirror and the plus side is that they won't break as they are quite flexible.

i don't recommend that when ours broke i replaced it with one at first,then put the lights up at home the gobos where a lot smaller on the plastic mirror and nowhere near as bright,looked ok on it's own but when put with the other lights it was too obvious to use

what steps i can take to stop this happening again.

Yeah, buy proper cases and not flimsy bags. I have a few of the bags but only for led pars which don't have any moving parts or mirrors and lamps to break.
