Need help with Icecap t-5 slr installation

Craig Lambert · 11/30/2007, 12:29 PM

1.Where can I find lamp clips for my Icecap slr's. Mine came with none.

2. Can these slr's be mounted to a small block of wood at each end (by running a screw though the holes at each end of the slr's) and attaching the wood blocks to the inside of my canopy?

3. I could then mount the standoffs and endcaps to wood strips that are the same thickness as the mounting blocks.

4. The only lampclips I can find are the painted ones. I have seen pictures of stainless steel clips but I don't know where to purchase them. Are these clips mounted to the hood, and then both the slr, and bulb attach to them?

Your SLRs should come with those clips, if not contact your retailer. No you mount the standoffs which are connected to the end caps and the reflectors clip on to the bulbs.

Get the right clips. The clips mount to the reflector, and the whole thing clips to the bulb.
