- Thanks for a nice summary Scott.
-
- I've used a Black Line 4803 for several years with no problem. I usually
- run three heads off of it. However, it is a very difficult unit to control
- the heads separately.

-
- I've had a light fall 15 feet, breaking the light box, denting the
- housing, but not damaging the lamp. However, the lamp heads on
- the Black Line are not that light, especially with custom reflectors.

- Making it difficult to cool when the light box is fully enclosed.
