[LargeFormat] A UPS for an enlarger voltage regulator? Wacky idea?

[Huib Smeets]

Marco,

A few month ago the (stabilized) powersupply of my enlarger died. I built a
new one myself, it can drive a 24V/250W Halogen Bulb (ELC).

Although the original power supply (DURST, EST450 for the CLS450 colorhead)
had a 24V AC source my DIY powers supply gives a 24V DC voltages. Using a DC
voltage simplified the whole design a lot, the design of the EST450 was
elegant, but also unneccesary complex. There's no difference in driving a
lamp with 24V AC or DC.

I you want to receive it, just let me know, I'll send you the plan (off-list
ofcource).

btw. the plan can be very easily changed to other voltages.

Greetings,

Huib Smeets

I would like to put a voltage regulator on my enlarger to minimize
fluctuations.  Would a high-end computer battery backup -- i.e.
uninteruptable power supply (UPS) -- accomplish the same thing?  I don't
mean a power strip, but a battery backup that's supposed to deliver a steady
supply of "conditioned" voltage (whatever that is) to a computer.  I happen
to have one on hand.

Thanks for any input.

Marco
