Abstract: A photographic film projection system includes a plurality of projectors, one of which is an arc lamp projector, and a dissolver instrument whose controlled output power to the arc lamp projector is a phase controlled average a.c. power. The arc lamp projector has a light valve comprising a motor means linearly responsive to average power, for example, a moving iron galvanometer, and a movable means, such as a louvre, positioned between the arc lamp and the film gate.
