Techniquip TechniLight TLC-9 Fluorescent Ringlight provides diffuse light from a wide range of angles to provide 360 degrees of shadow-free illumination on the viewing target area.This provides improved optical and electronic imaging of specular finishes and high glare materials. 

The TLC-9 housing is a rugged powder coated aluminum alloy which holds a triphosphor fluorescent lamp and a high efficiency electronic ballast for maximum lumen output. The rapid start electronic ballast virtually eliminates flicker, runs cooler and is lighter weight than competing magnetic ballasts. The TechniLight TLC-9 is provided with an interchangeable lamp, specified as either daylight color temperature or UVA Blacklight Blue.  Wide range of input power options allows for worldwide use.

This unit is also known as the TQ TLC5 or Luxo TLC-5 system.
