When properly fitted, the slot in the tab will align with a screw in the center of the hood. The tab
insertion requires a slight force. If the filter assembly is too loose and does not stay in place, bend
each side of
the tab in opposite directions as shown to provide sufficient holding friction. The
friction on the filter pivot may be increased by tightening the pivot screw which extends the length of
the filter assembly.
MOUNTING A FILTER
Adapters may be attached to the top of the Head Module or to either side and folded back against the
Head Module when not in use. Two adapters may be simultaneously attached to the lighthead (one on
either side). A UL-DC can be used in combination with either a UL-WA or a UL-DF simultaneously.
When trying to accommodate two filters at the same time, it may be necessary to obtain a new hinge for
the filter, which will allow two to be used simultaneously. The part number for this hinge is #5140-
1051. Please contact the Anton/Bauer Customer Service Department for more details at (800) 541-
1667, (203) 929-1100, or [email protected].
PERMANENTLY MOUNTING A FILTER
First removethe screw and washer (between the hood and glass frame) from any one of the Head
Module’s three sides. Install the filter as described before. Reinsert the screw and tighten fully. The
washer will no longer be necessary.
FILTERS
Adapter accessories are detachable pivoting filter/lenses allowing the user to flip the adapter in and out
of the beam pattern. Adapters (Diffuser, Wide Angle, Dichroic) are mounted in a holder, pivoted from a
slotted tab. The adapter assembly is attached to the Head Module by sliding the slotted tab into the
space between the light head safety glass holder and the hood.
UL-WA. Ultralight Wide Angle Adapter. Converts both spot bulbs and medium flood bulbs into full
flood (36°) patterns. A very efficient optical device that provides an exceptionally smooth and even
pattern and will cover the widest angle zoom lenses. The UL-WA filter can also be used with flood
bulbs to smooth out uneven bulb patterns.
UL-DF. Ultralight #1 Diffuser. For use with spot bulbs. Lowers light output by approximately one
“f” stop (50%) while softening the edges of the beam pattern and increasing beam diameter
approximately 50%.
UL-DC. Ultralight Dichroic Filter. Converts output of bulbs to match 5600°K daylight. The UL-DC
filter must be used when using the Ultralight for daylight fill or cool white fluorescent fill.
