Durst CLS 1840 - Need help and advice :) New Darkroom build.

One thing I see different is that in my CLS2000, the lamp pre-warm does not eminate any light.

Oh ok, this might be because my PWM dimmer values are not accurate yet. Its just a random low voltage value atm.

Makes sense. I'd dim it down until it just ceases to glow.

Are you able to measure the temperature of the pre-warmed bulb ?

Yes, will do this asap.

I don't know. I could measure the temp of the lamp base after it has been idling a while to see if it gets any warmer.

Fascinating build, respect!

When my EST2000 was still working, the lamp at pre-warm in my CLS2000 was actually emitting a very-very faint glow:

Maybe it’s best to use the output voltage value stated in the manual for the preliminary heating.

I’ll check mine in dim light
