Dimming Control
Dimming and Color Temperature Shift
Dimming can be used to adjust the light output of the fixture. The color temperature
will shift marginally if kept to within one f-stop. Dimming beyond one f-stop may result
in a reduction of color temperature as well as a noticeable shift to magenta.
Manual Dimming Control
The BarFly 400D features a built-in dimmer control.
For full light output, turn dimmer fully clockwise. An input jack
for an optional Remote Dimmer
(DIM-5)
is located next to the
manual dimming knob.
Note: The ballast is designed to start lamps at any dim setting.
However, in cold temperatures, if the ballast does not start,
turn off the ballast. Make sure the dimmer is set to full and
restrike. Once the lamps have come up to full temperature
after a few minutes, then dim to the desired light level.
