I don't have an amperage for you, Andrew, but I can save you wasting time
looking for the AC Adapter 3, which I believe was withdrawn by Olympus for
safety reasons.  I have never seen any sign of a 240V version available. 

Have you thought about using a sealed lead-acid battery?

I've decide that I would make much more effective use of this macro flash if
I could use the modelling lights. Which I haven't been doing due to lack of
suitable 6V source.

I have a 240V AC Adapter 2, but that doesn't have the 6V output.
Good for driving the Power Control 1 though.

The AC Adapter 3 is rated at 6V 3A. I have a 500mA DC supply that I have
used to verify that all the lights operate correctly, but I'd be reluctant
to use it for any length of time given the rating of the Olympus unit.


So my question: does anyone have information about the actual current draw
of these lights? I can buy a 3A multi-voltage supply for $A75, which is
expensive enough to warrant looking at the alternatives, such as trying to
get along with a 1 or 2A supply.


Of course, I could look for an Adapter 3, but a search on you know where
doesn't come up with anything anywhere in the last few months, especially in
240V version (although I suspect the 220V version would be OK for this
purpose).


thanks
