Projector clock needed
Posted by Andy Gorman on 30 October 2006 at 11:27I need to find a supplier for a projector clock. You know, it shines a clock image onto the wall. Not one of those nasty lcd type clocks; a nice Roman clock face. Exterior use (and internal as well) needed.
Anyone?
Ta.

hi andy, ive not long reformatted my comp or i could have sent you a list of links mate. try googling for them. it takes a bit of time as some of the firms use "not so obvious" keywords for the projectors, which makes it a bit time consuming but there lots and at decent prices. i wasnt looking for clocks but found lots of clocks within my searches.
if i rememember any of the sites ill post here. -
Still searching for an external version of this. Plenty of indoor ones, just no weatherproof ones.
Anyone?

Andy is it for a shop can you shine through the window onto the pavement ie internal one used externally, I’ve seen this done before 🙂

No, it is going to go on a flat roof outdoors and shine onto the gable end of the building. I have found one way of doing it; a proper lighting unit (like you have at discos) with a clock attachment. Bleeding expensive though, so I’m still looking.
Customers and their strange requests, bah!

andy, you can pick up old light projectors as low as £40 from disco lighting hire companies… ive bought a few over the years. how compatible they would be for adding attachments like clocks etc is another thing…
the attachment part with the clock/log etc can be expensive because for the powerful projectors a gobo is reuired and i think thats were the bucks start going out the door. for custom/one off ones anyway…http://www.optifanatics.com/?g&gclid=CP … GgodO2hBQg
these arent cheap but do second hand ones, still expensive though…
im not sure about the whole outdoor suitable projectors, i recon you would still require some sort of clear acrylic box for it to sit in?
you could modify this one to work… 😉

I had found the optikinetics website but it doesn’t state whether they are suitable for outdoor use. I shall have to ring them. Unbelievably expensive though, probably a couple of grand for the spot and clock unit!
I have found an indoor model which is quite nice, for anyone that’s interested.

i like that desktop one in silver andy, bit pricey though…
