Introduction
Thank you for choosing Impact.
Thank you for choosing the Impact FRC-24 220 W Ready
Cool Fluorescent Light. This lightweight daylight-balanced
uorescent lighting xture is an inexpensive way to produce
soft, professional lighting in the studio or on location.
Fluorescent bulbs deliver diffused, attering light. Fluorescents
are also cool to the touch, so they’re ideal for photographing
anything that’s affected by heat, like food or people. The FRC-24
air-induction cooling system keeps everything really cool.
Your Ready Cool light has a exible stand adapter that makes
it possible to mount the xture to most light stands and easily
position the light. The built-in barn doors provide control over
your lighting. The easy-access built-in fuse protects the unit
from overloaded electrical circuits—it’s always a good idea to
keep spare fuses on hand.
The included daylight-balanced bulbs will produce light with
a color temperature similar to daylight. The hammered silver
reective surface on the barn doors maximizes light output. The
FRC-24 xture has two switches to select full or half power—
you can choose between 220 W or 110 W for greater lighting
versatility.
