distance of 3.3' and features a stepless rear dimming dial for adjusting light
output from 0 to 100%. The AL-528W can be powered by the included AC adapter or
optional Sony F/FM/QM-type batteries using the dual rear battery slots. Four
LED indicator lights on the back of the unit display the remaining battery

5/8" spigot with 1/4"-20 and 3/8"-16 threads, an orange 5500 -
