Congratulations on your purchase of the Angler IUF-55.
The Angler Steady Cool Fluorescent is a flicker-free fixture. It’s a lightweight
and inexpensive way to produce a soft, diuse, and glowing light in the studio
or on location.
Fluorescent bulbs are cool to the touch, so they’re ideal for photographing
subjects that are very close to the light source and aected by heat, like food
or people. The IUF-55 features an air-induction cooling system that keeps
everything at a comfortable temperature.
The Steady Cool has a flexible gooseneck stand adapter that makes it possible
to mount the fixture to most light stands and easily position the light. The
built-in barn doors provide control over your lighting. Though a built-in fuse
is easily accessed the ecient electrical draw of the IUF-55 minimizes the
chance of a blown fuse or overheated circuitry.
The Steady Cool includes daylight-balanced bulbs that produce light with
a color temperature similar to daylight. Light output is maximized by the
hammered silver, reflective surface on the barn doors.
