Hi all

Finally as promised here is an ENGLISH GHL support website, we finished it this weekend. If you want to submit your own review to this please feel free to do so, and we will try and get it on the site asap

http://www.ghl-profilux.com

You will find all the latest downloads here, and Matthias is to link his site to this one if he has not already done so. This then provides an information website in ENGLISH.

in the next few weeks, we will be adding as promised proline's info to the site to cover the North American/ Canadian side, we will also try and get a link put on to this forum also.

6 weeks tomorrow my family and i move to Ottawa permenantly, my wife going home and me coming, well I have no choice really!!!!

Regards
Michael

Michael, Mathias,

Great news from both of you, Seing My German is rustier than a nail, don't figure Anyways would either of you know, I have a Spec on a Ballast I believe will handle the Profilux Dimming directly from the unit I believe without the need for a 0-10V Module. I would like some verification prior to me purchasing these for my Rig, My T'5s arrived today from Europe, and I am somewhat anxious to get te Profilux up and running.

Thanks a Million for any help that you all can provide.

It is hard to answer this without knowing what you have purchased and what the spec is. My knowledge of the dimming side of profiLux is still growing but the following is correct.

The dimming modules LF-ABOX and LBF-AP act as an interface between the light unit dimmable ballasts and the profilux, not only that using the LF-ABOX as the interface this acts as a complete shut off to the lights when the 1-10V line drops to a certain level.

So my answer would be without seeing any specs is that no you will need one of these interfaces. for the sake of a few $$$ i would seriously concider getting the correct spec ballasts from GHL and the interface, I think it will save you more in the long run.

GHL do manufacture high end T5 light bars that already dimmable also, you will have to talk to proline for prices though.

Hope I have got your question correct? if you can supply a bit more info i can help further
Regards
Michael

I have looked at the Ballasts that are on the site, Unfortunately, I am in the states on a 120/60Hz, I think we are one of the few countries still on 120/60Hz LOL. the ballasts shown are 220V.

Anyway, If you Pm me with a Fax number I would be able to provide you with the specs on the ballast.

http://www.sylvania.com/ProductCatal...hSpecGuide.htm
This link also has a Ballast for dimming T5Ho Dali and 0-10V. Maybe that could shed some light on the matter.

I have just recieved my Geisman bulbs and T5 reflectors today, and am trying to press forward on this project.

GHL sent me literature on the Dimmable Driver Blanh for 0-10V ballasts, the Dali ballasts have that technology built in, this si what leads to my questions on the ballast types for 120V.

Thanks again for the time to read this.

Hi

DALI-ballasts can't be used with ProfiLux.
As far as i know Proline was searching for dimmable 120V-ballasts.
@Jason: Some news?

Hello Matthias,

I was wondering if there was any chance that within the Profilux software, that we could actually have a "notes" field under the "socket outlet functions". It would be very nice to be able to label within the software what "socket 5, 10, etc" are.

Also - is there any ability to see current status of the plug(on or off)? Like an overview page of which are active at any given time. A list similar to the "socket outlet functions" but in the second column, include "on or off".

If this actually exists, I apologize - I just set this up last night and I am going through the software and I am not seeing it.

Would it at all be possible to provide the API to pull the "measured data" out of the controller? It shouldn't be too hard to use something like perl to probe the controller for that data and to have it keep appending to a file, therefore it would be easier to keep "high" resolution data. Not to mention it would be nice to not have to "save" the data manually - very easy to autogenerate graphs and such ;-)

Eric
