• New York Times -  April 1986:

For lighting a small, three-dimensional object, a useful device is the Bogen Light Modulator System, which operates as a sort of super mini-studio for this kind of work. The device, which is somewhat bigger than a breadbox, looks rather like a spidery creature out of a science-fiction movie and is designed to be used with tungsten-balanced films such as Ektachrome 50 Professional. This unit allows for easy 360-degree lighting of an object. Instead of electronic flash, it uses three 50-watt quartz halogen lamps, each of which is attached to the end of a jointed, lockable arm. On the fourth arm are reflecting mirrors. There is a small, movable glass stage on which to place the object being photographed. Each lamp accepts a variety of accessories, such as diffusers, color or polarizing filters, and special-effect lenses.

The Light Modulator lists for $600, with accessories running from $3.50 to $80 1986
