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!!!!

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

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.

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?

[monitors-direct]

argh yes sorry, you require 120V.

I have just spent an age sifting through USA web sites and have come up with an array of 120V dimmable non Dali ballasts. i am just waiting for Matthias to confirm which ones are Ok and i will then let you know.

Thank you Gentleman, I have been told the Osram Ballast, In Conjuction with the EVG-AP2, Version 4.xx Module should surfice it is 0-10V Capable[IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ANTHON%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot.jpg[/IMG][IMG]file:///C:/DOCUME%7E1/ANTHON%7E1/LOCALS%7E1/Temp/moz-screenshot-1.jpg[/IMG]untitled.bmp Does this come in a 120V Config?

Sorry for being a Pain, I understand you are 7-8 weeks from production for us Yankees

But I am really sold on this product, And I hate like heck to have to put this project on hold for two to three more months, I am at the 2 month mark on this as of now, and was hoping i could make this work.

Thanks you al so much for working with me on this.

thats the type of ballast you require.

I am waiting to hear if the EVG-AP is 120V also, it is national holiday in Germany so Matthias naturally is not available

I will let you know asap.
