The LightSpion comes with a standard IEC power in
connector and with standard euro power cable, but any
power cable can be used as the LightSpion support any
outlet voltage from 90-260VAC.
The power in connector supplies
power to the goniometer motor

subsequent to the light source to
be measured, meaning that
power supplied will be identical to
power supplied to the light source
to be measured.
