I've decide that I would make much more effective use of this
macro flash if I could use the modelling lights. Which I haven't
been doing due to lack of suitable 6V source.
I have a 240V AC Adapter 2, but that doesn't have the 6V output.
Good for driving the Power Control 1 though.
The AC Adapter 3 is rated at 6V 3A. I have a 500mA DC supply that
I have used to verify that all the lights operate correctly, but
I'd be reluctant to use it for any length of time given the
rating of the Olympus unit.
So my question: does anyone have information about the actual
current draw of these lights? I can buy a 3A multi-voltage supply
for $A75, which is expensive enough to warrant looking at the
alternatives, such as trying to get along with a 1 or 2A supply.
Of course, I could look for an Adapter 3, but a search on you know
where doesn't come up with anything anywhere in the last few months,
especially in 240V version (although I suspect the 220V version
would be OK for this purpose).
thanks
Andrew
