Introduction
The Pacific Dowser is an accessory for the Pacific family of luminaires.
It is a mechanical dimming mechanism for discharge sources, such as the 575W MSR, 575W MSR
Hot Restrike, 250W Hot Restrike ST, and 150W CDM and 70W CDM Pacifics.
Through the use of this accessory, a smooth even fade is possible without compromising the
maximum output of the system.
The dowser is intended for use in theatrical applications and performs in a similar way to traditional
tungsten halogen light sources. The dowser is not intended for strobe type effects i.e. rapid sequential
off/on operation.
