FIXED REFLECTOR LIGHT UNITS
MW3R and MW3R/CC
The MW3R series light units share a common base, but are differentiated by the type of
flash tube each contains. They feature 5-1/2" fixed reflector and are functional as back-
ground or hair lights. When installing flash tubes and model lights be sure that the unit is
disconnected from the power supply. To assemble, first insert the flash tube according to
the General Instructions, then insert the model lamp, using the packing material to hold
the lamp. The 60W candelabra base model lamp threads into the reflector-mounted
socket. The flash tubes are the MW3 (for MW3R) and MW3C (for MW3R/CC). Again, fol-
low the General Instructions to attach the light unit to the power supply. It accepts sever-
al accessories listed below including snoots, barn doors and diffusers. The MW3R con-
verts to the MW3R/CC by changing to the color corrected flash tube.
MW3U, MW3U/CC, MW3UQ and MW3UQ/CC
MW3U series light units share a common base, but are differentiated by the type of flash
tube each contains. They feature 5-1/2" fixed reflectors for use with umbrellas. When
installing flash tubes and model lamps be sure that the unit is disconnected from the

The 150W candelabra base model lamp inserts into the reflector-mounted socket. Align
the locking pins to the model lamp socket and use gentle pressure to insert and gently
twist the lamp 1/4 turn. The flash tubes are the MW3 (for MW3U), MW3C (for
MW3U/CC), MW3Q (for MW3UQ), and MW3QC (for MW3UQ/CC). Again, follow the
General Instructions to attach the light unit to the power supply. The light units accept
accessories listed below, including barn doors. It is recommended that snoots not be
used with the MW3U series because of heat from the model lamp.

mounted sockets around the flash tube. Align the locking pins to the model lamp
sockets and use gentle pressure to insert and gently twist the lamp 1/4 turn. The flash
tubes are the MW3 (for M90), MW3C (for M90/CC), MW3Q (for M90Q), and MW3QC
(for M90Q/CC). Again, follow the General Instructions to attach the light unit to the
