All right, I really need some freakin' help here! The information I need is very difficult to extrapolate from all the different threads here on CPF, and I've been reading for hours! Plus, the Shoppe (and I know they are busy) seems to give me short answers like "buy this one" but they never explain why.

I want to get an Aleph-19 UV head, and run it on an E2 body (or maybe buy a whole light from them if needed).

Which converter should I get? They are available with the Downboy917, Downboy 500, Wizard2, and Nexgen 500 converters.

Whew!

Which one, and more importantly, WHY?

(I'm pretty sure I either need a Downboy or a Wiz, but again, which and why?)

If I do decide to just bet the A-19 UV head, do I need a 2-stage switch for the E2 body? Will the converter run on full power with just a regular switch?

I would prefer to spend $150 on the head and use my E2 bodies, rather than fork out for a whole new light.

Thanks, all. I really appreciate any help and explanations (and theory) you can give.

Cheers!
