I have a type 1 Zone VI. Several years ago I purchased a used VC head for this enlarger, I didn't like it at all, way too dim and the contrast wasn't consistant. I switched back to my original cold light head. The lamp I got from Cemil is way brighter and very controllable. It is all controlled with an iphone, ipad or other such device. I just received it and finished the bracket so it operates just like the old Zone VI head. What I bought is the basic 4x5 3b VC Led lamp. I'm making my first prints with it this week, I'm sure there is a learning curve but, this looks like a great solution. Cemil didn't have a Zone VI enlarger to work with so he couldn't build the bracket to attach to my enlarger but, I was sure I could fabricate something to make it work and it was easy.
This is the bracket.
The silver vertical piece on the lamp is original to the lamp, I just used a couple of wooden pieces to attach the lamp to the enlarger chassis.
I know there are several other members of this forum that own models of this lamp. They have more experience using it that I do, at the moment.
