Protecting glass 5500 K for Pulso G and Unilite
$2,000.00 /day
A genuine quartz glass protecting dome featuring an integrated UV coating calibrated at 5500 K. Tailored specifically for Broncolor Pulso G and Unilite lamp heads to shield vital elements and lock in neutral daylight balance.
A 10% damage waiver fee will be applied to your order in the rental basket unless proof of own insurance can be supplied.
The Broncolor Protecting Glass 5500 K is a critical, dual-purpose utility component engineered for Broncolor’s industry-standard lamp heads, including the Pulso G (1600J / 3200J) and Unilite series. On a high-stakes commercial canvas, the exposed flash tube and halogen modeling lamp are highly vulnerable to catastrophic physical impacts, airborne dust, moisture, and skin oil contamination. This heavy-duty quartz glass dome serves as an absolute mechanical shield, sealing the internal lighting matrix against costly accidental damage on set.
Beyond its physical safety credentials, this protecting glass performs an indispensable color-calibration function. The glass is infused with a specialized, premium UV-absorbing coating that shifts and filters out volatile short-wave ultraviolet wavelengths. This precision filtration locks your strobe output into a perfectly balanced, neutral standard daylight color temperature of 5500 K. It is a vital tool for multi-light studio sets where color accuracy must remain perfectly uniform across all fixtures.
-
Native Head Compatibility: Natively optimized to fit the physical dimensions and security clips of both Pulso G and Unilite 1600J / 3200J lamp heads.
-
5500 K UV Color Correction: Integrated original UV coating filters erratic spectrum spikes to yield an absolute 5500 K daylight profile.
-
Heavy-Duty Quartz Build: Formulated from industrial-grade quartz glass to withstand extreme thermal expansion and high-power consecutive discharges.
-
Comprehensive Core Protection: Safely encapsulates both the high-energy flash tube and the 650W modeling lamp from physical or liquid hazards.
-
Tool-Free Mechanical Snapping: Features a standardized retention layout for fast, secure mechanical clipping directly onto the lamp head chassis.

Q: What is the main color difference between a 5500 K dome and a 5900 K dome?
A: The 5500 K glass dome delivers a slightly warmer, exact standard neutral daylight balance, which is ideal for classic skin tone workflows and standard commercial layouts. The 5900 K variant delivers a cooler, crisper daylight white profile. Choosing between them depends on your specific production color matching protocols.
-
Q: Can I use this protecting glass dome on Broncolor Siros monolights?
A: No. This glass dome is strictly dimensioned for generator-powered lamp heads like the Pulso G and Unilite. The Siros, Siros S, and Siros L monolights utilize an entirely separate proprietary glass dome architecture.
-
Q: How do I change this glass dome safely if a bulb goes out on set?
A: For absolute safety, you must completely disconnect the lamp head from the generator power pack and wait at least 15 to 20 minutes for the internal elements to cool down. Pull back the metal retention clips on the head base, lift away the old dome, and snap the new one securely into place. Never handle the glass with bare skin; the natural oils from your fingers will create thermal weak spots, which can cause the glass to crack under high heat. Always use a clean cloth or gloves.
