LLUMINATION
There are three illumination devices available: the Standard lightHEAD and the LED lightHEAD and
optionally there is the HDR kit with two LG2 light boxes available. All three have their own panels in
the software.

TANDARD LIGHT
HEAD
If a Standard lightHEAD head is delivered with your lightSTUDIO, the illumination module enables you
to switch the corresponding lamps on and off [1] and to set the intensity [2]. Only one lamp type can
be illuminated at one time, hence it follows that switching one lamp type on, turns all others off. There
are 6 types of lamps: F11, F12, D50, D65, Halogen (H) and Halogen with blue filter (H
b.f.).
Clicking a
button for a lamp type at first run of the program turns the respective lamp on with an intensity of
100%. If the intensity is varied with the slider or the input field [2], the value is stored during runtime,
thus setting a lamp to this intensity when turned on again.
The sequence list shows four columns. The first and second columns define the start- and end-times
of a period. In the third column, the lamp type is selected. In the fourth column the intensity can be
varied between 0 and 100%.
Note:
For sequences, operating times of less than 3 seconds are not advised since switching the
lamps takes some time (1
…
3 s depending on lamp type). Thus rapid changes may lead to
omitted periods.
It is important to keep in mind that it takes a couple of minutes until the color temperature and
illuminance is reliably stable for all lamp types.
All values measured in the acceptance protocol were measured 3 minutes after switching the
lights on.
