The lights are manufactured by Strong Lighting of Omaha, Nebraska which acquired the Super Trouper and its larger cousin, the Gladiator, from its former manufacturer Syncrolite who had acquired them from Ballantyne Strong of Omaha, Nebraska (originally Strong Electric Corporation of Toledo, Ohio) in November 2016. History The lights were first manufactured in 1956. Initially, the Super Trouper utilized a high-intensity carbon arc lamp. In the 1980s, as carbon arc lamps fell into decreasing use, the spotlight began to employ a high-intensity xenon lamp as its light source. With very few exceptions, Strong has maintained a consistent design on Super Trouper models since the first xenon-type models were introduced in the late 1970s. Initially the reflector unit was composed of electroformed nickel with a rhodium plating. Today, Super Trouper follow spots ...
