Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Impact Ready Cool FRC-22 110w or FRC-24
220w Ready Cool Fluorescent Light. This lightweight daylight-balanced
fluorescent lighting fixture is an inexpensive way to produce soft,
professional lighting in the studio or on location.
Fluorescent bulbs deliver diffused, flattering 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-22/24 air-induction cooling system keeps
everything really cool.
Your Ready Cool light has a flexible 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. The easy-access builtin 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 reflective surface on
the barn doors maximizes light output. The FRC-24 fixture has two switches
to select full or half power—you can choose between 220w or 110w for
greater lighting versatility.
