Aristo VCL4500-C-D57-110V Overview

The Aristo VCL 4500 Series Provides full coverage for the Durst 5" x 7" series enlargers. The casing is 7-11/16  x 7-11/16 x  4-5/16. The VCL 4500 gives you complete variable contrast control from grade 0 to grade 5 with 50 settings over entire range without using filters.

This is a two piece set with separate power pack. The blue lamp is dimmable on this model.

Cold light sources must be placed as close to the negative carrier as possible in order to prevent light loss and fall off.

More and more photographers have turned to cold light to solve a wide variety of printing problems. If you are serious about photography, cold light will enable you to achieve superior black and white or color prints.

The Aristo cold grid light unlike either the condenser or diffuser types, permits proper, efficient transmission of light through the negative and optical system. This results in  a savings of time, labor and material.

Note:
If you are using a solid state timer make sure it can handle inductive loads
No heat from the lamps mean that negatives will never warp or buckle with a cold light head.
Hot spots are eliminated when you use cold light. The full light coverage produced by a unique tube pattern insures edge to edge, and even illumination.
Greater printing speed as well as reduced exposures (up to 3 times) are often achieved by matching highly efficient lamp spectral curves to photographic paper specifications. This means lower power consumption and sharper pictures.
Contact print quality can be acheived, even when your enlargements are not of contact print quality thanks to the callier effect.
Without sacrificing sharpness the unique quality of cold light helps eliminate dust, scratches and other surface blemishes.
More headroom with cold light heads because they provide up to a 75% lower profile than conventional heads.
Longer lamp life is acheived by maintaining an optimum temperature, instant peak intensity and consistency are assured with the Aristo patented thermostat system. Depending on model, cold light lamps can have a life expectancy up to 10,000 hours. That is equivalent to 416 days and nights of constant burning! There is virtually no change in color temperature during the lamp life.
