Hey guys, I was just wondering if anyone on TP had or still has these studio lights as I'd really like to get some soft boxes for them but can't identify the securing system they use so I can get some speed rings to fit, can anyone help ? I can upload pics if it helps ?

Cheers :thumbs:

I've not got any myself but here's a link to someone discussing Courtenay's Solaflash range. Link If you've got the same then it looks like they're Hensel MH fit which is compatible to Bowens L mount. Apparently Bowens used to do an adapter for mounting S type modifiers onto the L type heads (Part No. B1890) but don't know if anyone can still get you one.

Another thing to try is Interfit...it's a long shot but I used to have a pair of continuous lights that had some bits that were branded Courtenay, that became part of Patterson which in turn became Interfit :shrug:
 
Yes, unfortunately it's a long obsolete fitting and you'll be lucky to find anything to fit it. But from an engineering viewpoint, it should be pretty simple to make something up - Courtenay just used a couple of screws to secure the fitting, it wasn't exactly precision engineering, which will make it much easier to cobble something together.
 
thank guys, been a mega help, can't thank you enough :thumbs:
