    Tony - There are a million screws on the fixture which look like you can remove to get to the lamp. I had a quick look at a gig i was doing when setting up but couldnt see at the time. The manual doesnt state how to change it and rather than unscrewing screws i didnt need to i though it be best to ask the more experienced guys on here!
    Ive ordered a couple of osram bulbs as ive read on here they are better than some cheaper ones.
    I also never got round to looking at this at home as ive not long bought them, and have got receipts saying they have just been pat tested and new bulbs in them all too so didnt think id need to at the mo.

    No need to take my word at all, Sir. You may view the very article yourself.

    And if I were a sensitive soul, I'd say that the tone of your reply could be seen by some as less than polite.

    Your logic about checking bulb replacement before this point is however unassailable logic. If it uses a bulb/lamp. it will blow, and thus will need changing.

    Sorry you have lost me ,i suggest you read my post in context as it was tounge in cheek hence the and the word sorry in the first sentence.
    And i still say if you are going to use a piece of equipment in your line of work check it out ie were the fuse is what rating,what lamp how do i replace it and so on. But then again i have been on the road for over 45 years some time on tour for many months and have learnt to be very prepared for break downs and such like.

    I see no smilie, and no word sorry. Only a reply which at best could be described as grudging,and could easily merit the tag "derisory".

    And as I said before, I agree totally.

    totally disagree as soon as i get a new fixture it gets plugged in and tested then straight onto the rig. couldnt give a monkeys what fuse it takes as i always carry a selection. im so impatient that i dont want to waste time reading spec. sheets. ive always been of the opinion that real men dont need instructions. we just prod, poke and whack it until it works

    If you have not got the original user manuals nearly all are available to download on the net.
    Its like having a car and not knowing how to open the bonnet.

    Do some homework (rant over)
    Bit harsh Tony thought this forum was for advice?

    I do give lots of advice on technical side of the Forum,and my advice in this instance was to investigate your gear before using.
    Sorry if you thought it was a bit harsh.
