Start at a low setting at the light source - DKL - 05-07-14 I'd say starting at a low setting will increase the lifetime expectancy a lot. Mostly I see people starting at 70% or 80% just because they have a experience with bad guides. RE: Start at a low setting at the light source - tester - 24-07-14 Starting at 30% or 40% depending on the diameter of the light guide does it for us. This can save you serious money! RE: Start at a low setting at the light source - Michel@SJD - 25-07-14 In our OR's the light power setting almost never exeeds 35% (300W systems) everything above is completely useless. The camera system wil regulate the extra lighting down. higher settings only result in more heat development and damage to the used materials.
