Home-built flat lamp

Prototype of a light panel for flat frames in astrophotography: 12 V, brightness set by a potentiometer, no microcontroller.

A home-built flat lamp for astrophotography. It is used for flat frames, pictures of an evenly lit surface that let you remove vignetting and dust on the sensor from your images.

The lamp is a prototype. It runs on 12 V, and a potentiometer sets the brightness. There is no microcontroller in it.
