That's the cold light head for the Beseler 8X10 conversion for 45VXL and 45M Series. In addition to the large cast upper stage, it requires a high voltage power supply to work.

But have you asked them?

I get this when I click on their site:

Here is the (very limited) description from the Beseler website as of 2007:


810 Cold Light Source
All 45 Series enlargers can be converted to accept larger format 8"x10" negatives, transparencies, panoramic films up to 10" long and produce enlarged contact sheets.
This lightsource comes complete with glass and glass less negatives/transparency carriers. By removing the 810 light source adapter plate, which is included, both the 45M condenser and the 45A light source can be used.
The 810 adapter kit allows the user to mount other manufacturers' 810 sources to Beseler 45 Series enlargers.
