the lamp. The 60W candelabra base model lamp threads into the reflector-mounted
socket. The flash tubes are the MW3 (for MW3R) and MW3C (for MW3R/CC). Again, fol-
low the General Instructions to attach the light unit to the power supply. It accepts sever-
al accessories listed below including snoots, barn doors and diffusers. The MW3R con-
