Lamp

Needs 2x 120V 300W lightbulbs - these are specialist lightbulbs even though they look similar to normal ones.

Available to buy from: http://www.ag-photographic.co.uk/120v-300w-elh-2050-p.asp

Both lightbulbs need to be installed and working for the enlarger to produce the correct colour for your multigrade paper. To check if both bulbs work:

  1. Set grade to 0, press expose, you should see the image with a blue-ish tint
  2. Set grade to 5, press expose, you should see the image with a strong magenta tint

Instructions for replacing the lightbulbs are in the manual.
