Broncolor Mobil head compatibility

[Henry Carter]

I have greatly enjoyed using the Broncolor Mobil system since it was introduced. This is an outstanding tool for location lighting.

Broncolor recently introduced a new Mobil A2R power pack as well as a newer version Mobilite 2 head.

Can the original Mobilite heads be converted to Mobilite 2 heads, at least as far as having functioning 100w modeling lights if used with the new Mobilite A2R power pack? Would the Mobilite modeling light work with the new power pack simply by changing the modeling light bulb to 100w?

Thanks for any help.

Here is the reply from Broncolor:

"I'm sorry but it's not so simply to convert the Mobilite into a Mobilite 2 only by changing the modeling light.
If you use a 100W modeling light it could damage the lamp-head.
And it's also very complex to modify the Mobilite into a Mobilite 2 we wouldn't recommend a modification.
