6V/20W incident lamp
• The 6V/20W lamp is an inclined incident source for illumi-
nating spatial objects.
• By using two lamps, you can soften or eliminate shadows.
• At the nominal voltage (6V), the colour temperature is 3200K,
ideal for photography. Set the regulating transformer to this
nominal voltage (see page 26).
Assembly
