The Saunders does not have two light tubes, just one dial that controls dichroic and neutral density filters. By dialing in different grades (0-5) one controls the color of the light. The higher the grade (3-5), the "bluer" the light, the lower the grade (0-2), the "greener" the light. So the higher grades control blacks and lower grades light tones. There's quite a few combinations possible, but you probably get even more with your Aristo. Jiri
