ADB

Since 1992, I have been the head of the company in the Polish market ADB Lighting Technologies. The company is widely known for such products as: stage lighting fixtures, digital control units, stage lighting desktops. The devices were characterized by attention to the highest quality of products and components. Individual projects were developed in close contact with users in theaters and TV studios. So, among other things, unique technological solutions were born, such as the SVOBODA ramp, dedicated to the outstanding Czech production designer Yesef Svoboda, or the original WARP profile reflector in its design.

ADB Lighting Technologies was one of the first companies to launch LED-powered luminaires based on its C51 and EUROPE 1-1.2 kW designs.

Unfortunately, in the era of competition in the market, mainly based on the criteria of the lowest prices, the uncompromising company ADB Lighting Technologies did not stand up to the competition. It did not allow for the possibility of quality reduction. And we will remember it.

Her profile is currently being restored  ADB CLAYPAKY. Its offer still includes a line of portable regulatory devices MIKAPACK 15, MIKAPACK 30, and stationary EURORACK 60 DIM SWITCH i EURODOM TWIN-TECH.
ADB CLAYPAKY discontinued halogen light sources replace modern LED lights: ORKIS PROFILE, ORKIS FRESNEL-PEBBLE, LEXPERT PROFILE, LEXPERT FRESNEL, KLEMANTIS, KLEMANTIS RGBW. The supply of LED lights will continue to expand. In the field of stage lighting fixtures (spotlights, spotlights), new models equipped exclusively with LED sources are consistently included in production.

The quality of ADB Lighting Technologies products is appreciated by users in many theaters and television studios around the world. I see many devices of this company in the audience of Polish theaters and TV studios: CANAL+, POLSAT, TVN. Unfortunately, the stock of spare parts is running out, and therefore I allow myself to give a few operational comments that can contribute to the further long-term operation of those that many device manufacturers love so much. For example, Christian Lupa greatly appreciated the A56C prismatic reflectors (500-650 watts). However, they enjoyed an extraordinary success in Poland, as evidenced by the objects in which there are more than 100 pieces and even 200 pieces. They have proven themselves well on small stages and in theater schools.

My operational notes are very simple: CLEAN, CLEAN, CLEAN.

If we keep the ADB headlights clean, no spare parts will be needed. Except in cases of mechanical damage, of course.

Currently, the biggest problem for users of EUROPE 1-2 kW series profile projectors (D...105, D...205) may be the LCDOC68 series lenses, which are no longer manufactured. These lenses have a relatively small surface area and are located at a very small distance from the light source. If dust settles on them, and often the fog from smoke apparatuses floating in the air, dusty or dusty lenses will heat up even more. Sometimes dust can stick permanently to the lens. This increases the process of critical temperature increase on the lens surface. Then the lenses break. Attention to the quality of the insulation pads located between the condenser lens and the mounting structure is also important. Without them, the lenses are additionally heated from the structure.
Users of the WARP 12-30 and 22-50 luminaires have no problems with condenser lenses. There are no such lenses. A paraboloid-lenticular optical system was introduced into the design of these luminaires. The center of the halogen lamp filament is located in the first focus of the reflector. The reflected light rays from the reflector are focused in a second focus, which becomes the visible light source.

 To ensure long-term and trouble-free operation of G9.5 lamp holders, it is necessary to strictly observe the manufacturer's requirements set out in its instructions for use when installing lamps. They must be pressed down until the metal flange of the lamp rests against the porcelain of the holder.

Of course, warp lamps require periodic maintenance, and dust and steam from smoke apparatuses should not linger on the structure and lenses.

For EUROPE 2kW profile projectors (D...205), it is very important to keep the fans that lower the temperature on the surface of the condenser lens in full operation.

As for the WARP powered floodlights, care should be taken not only to keep the optical system and design clean, but also, perhaps above all, to keep the sensors clean, which precisely monitor the remote settings of the headlight position, zoom lens settings, shutter aperture, iris aperture and rotating Gobi mask. There, the worst enemy can be dust and smoke. Sensors are cleaned with compressed air, preferably from a compressor.

Another situation is when lighting devices are used for a long time. There, due to mechanical wear, periodic replacement of potentiometers or buttons is necessary. General masters potentiometers are subject to the greatest wear and tear.
With the choice of components on the market is not bad. Don't forget to choose the highest quality components, especially since they are not expensive compared to the high prices of new desktop computers.
The desktop power supply may be damaged for various reasons. We select power supplies with the same technical parameters and geometry.
We will never build desktops. Let's keep them out of the tables or tables. They have corresponding openings to ensure that the elements of the working table are kept in the permissible temperature range. With the current tropical heat in the summer months, ventilation / air conditioning of the areas where work desks work is required.
