Nice 👍

Interesting that they opened a box to a whole different arc lamp, and just put the same one back into the fixture.

An over-explained tutorial on how to safely use a retractable safety knife, while changing a light bulb.

Yeah let’s act like we are not dealing with a 2000w lamp that’s probably still running and possibly doing something for the last time

​@@LampLuminance My guess is BF Engineering have had their fair share of qualified commercial electrical engineers injuring themselves with safety knives? 🤨🤣

nice job, but they didn't allude to why not touch the bulbs without gloves on!, the reason is that the hmi's (xenon lamps in layman's terms) light with a lot of heat ~ 1,500 -2,200 degrees Celsius! enough to melt steel, and any oils on our hands will burn, but not slowly, it would cause the bulb to explode!! ( also hence all the coverings over the bulb and the reflectors, these act as a blast shield in case the bulb does 'blow', as the xenon gas would ignite, a bit like a HV arc-flash, and burn you, or any low melt temp components in the vicinity, so this acts as a containment for this, and to catch any glass fragments).
