would anyone happen to recognise this light fitting?

hi all

just wondering if anybody would hazzard a guess of the model for the light fitting in the attached image? the fitting is installed in a museum. i dont have any more details on the fitting other than the lamp is halogen and I,m trying to determine if it could accept replacement CFL's or LED's.

Thanks alot for looking

regards

It is SELV, judging by the size of the box attached to it.

It may accept these....

hi securespark

thats good news because the heat gains from all the fittings combined are keeping the water chillers on overdrive.

thanks a million.

Do remove a lamp from one of them and identify the type. If it is SELV, then you should be OK with those lamps.

To be sure, you could double check with the manufacturer of the fitting.

Are there any markings, numbers or letters or names on the fitting, track etc...

It looks a bit like illuma, but can't tell.

unfortunately I can't access those fittings for a few weeks but when i do ill post the details here.
thanks for all your help.

Most likely 35 or 70 watt metal halide, no other lamp will work properly, do you know its definetly halogen

Move it further along track , swivel it round or remove it are best options.
but let it cool before touching it.

Turn it off and on again, if it takes time to reach full brightness then its a control gear based lamp and only suitable for that lamp type.
All info usually on the label attached to the box bit.

There's quite a large one on the side of the gear box.

Sadly my camera skills let me down on the day. The picture quality is just to bad to make anything out of the label. Thanks for looking though. S

Oh yeah - it can't be read from the photo.

Is there anybody you could phone at the museum who could go and use a Mk.1 Eyeball on it, and report back?
