Nothing is completely diffuse.  Conversely, a diffuser can make anything as
diffuse as a cold head.

A "cold light" head is one that uses a discharge lamp as the light source
instead of an incandescent lamp.

A condenser head focuses light and thus behaves much more as a point source.

However, I haven't used an enlarger in some 25 years.  I scan everything
today, and I print from scans, which gives better results than any enlarger.
