Cold light is diffused and from a tube that does not generate heat, like a
standard condenser enlarger head does. The advantage is very even
illumination (unlike condensers, which yield a hot spot in the center) and
no heat means no negative warping and popping during exposures. Diffused
light of any nature will render many dust particles and small scratches on
negatives invisible on prints, unlike condenser light, which tends to really
exaggerate dust problems and minor scratches.
Thanks,
Ed
