Electrical Specs

The IC option allows for control of intensity on each 6" (152mm) section of BL138, BL168, LL137 and LL167 only. Fig. 1 shows 5 segments of 6" (152mm) BL138 with IC adjustment holes.

Controlling each 6" (152mm) section independently and making the center of the line less bright and the outside of the immediate camera viewing radius brighter ultimately results in better imaging. 

Better imaging occurs because the camera can see very well in it's area of focus, but outside that area the camera doesn't focus as well without brighter illumination.

Ai recommends using IC adjustment holes for aforementioned lights over 24" (610mm) long.
