Hello,
please, what shall be the power setting for this RECI W2 1 tube (90W nominal power)?
I mean in % (or maybe mA?). I’d like to set the minimum and maximum values in Machine Settings in Lightburn. With respect to working life of the tube itself.
Thanks to all for comments!

      There is a setup procedure that I have found very functional but involves setting the lps via an internal pot. There is usually a hole in the lps that allows you to adjust it.
      The procedure is to send a 50% pwm (power) or use the console to set it and manually pulse it in continuous mode.
      If your 100% is 24mA, you set the pot for 12mA. This 50% control settings makes sure you don’t overdrive the tube during this setup procedure…
      You have set the 50% pwm to cause 12mA to flow… In Lightburn a 50% power setting will result in a 12mA current flow… everything syncs up with the software…
      The pot on mine requires a contortionist to adjust… this is from the back of the machine…
