    How to find the focus position?
    Discussion 
    Hi David, I know the focus position is listed on the product page, but can't imagine it stays in the same place for all lights. I use the universal mount and the position of the bulb varies depending on what I mount and how. How can I make sure I focus the light (except trial and error, moving the rod in and out)? thanks, Sven

    Need folded dimensions
    Discussion 
    Hi on reason Im interested in a foldable parabolic reflector is that it should be portable. Can you please give me its dimensions when folded? Looking for the 35D and the 45 dimensions. How long is it and whats the diameter when folded?

    Continuous Lighting
    Discussion 
    With continuous lighting heat would be more of a problem. Is the cloth used in these reflectors sufficiently heat resistant for motion picture and video continuous lighting? Which lights can you use, HMI?, LED? Any particular brands, models of light?
