LED enlarger head for 5x7"

[photoevangelist]

Oh this is nice. I'm interested in what you all find out with the 920.

FWIW, neither of the Lightpads fit the E3. They are too long for the housing.

Did someone try to open theses units and remove frame to keep only the illuminated section and custom fit into enlargers.
I will be interested to enter theses units in the condensers housing of the Durst 138 (slot is W 195mm, D 215mm and H 54mm) and Durst 184 (slot is W 364mm, D 362mm, H 178mm)
Thanks for the info.

Randy,

Could let us know how this works out? I want to do the same thing with my wooden 5x7 Elwood.

Thanks,

Mike Sullivan

You have convinced Evan, I am going to try it YOUR way!

The 920 is now $60 Amazon Prime.

Being an traditionist in style, it will fit inside my 5X7 Elwood with the dome on.

Thanks for the tip!

Evan, is the expert on these.

I will be trying a 920 in the coming months, not days. It's on my list.

Come on experimenters, it's only $60 and if you don't like it, it is a great lightbox for viewing negs or exhibiting slides.

Heck, Amazon even allows easy returns.

Just curious. If one LED quits (defective?), can it be easily replaced? Or, heck, for that price just buy a whole new unit! And can the heat generated be assumed to be small (probably yes)?

Long time lurker guys.. I realize this is an old thread, but having just picked up a Durst 138s, I'm curious what you're experiences were with respect to the lightpad.. Particularly in terms of spectrum and filters, etc... Results when used in multigrade printing.. thanks for any feedback.

Randy have you tried this yet? Aside from adaptation, is the light source workable and timeable?

I've got one of his last 5X7 adapted to an Omega 5X7 enlarger. Warm LEDs. Prints very well with filters. Tried to get him to put LEDs in an otherwise useless Zone VI Type II head, but no deal. Anyone got an idea for who might do that? The Zone Vi might actually be useful with warm LEDs!

I've been looking at the Pixi light panels that are available at the Home Depot -

A bit cheaper than the Light Pad and 2700K, 1000 lumens.
