	Diamond Light Source has two superconducting wigglers and one cryocooled undulator installed serving three beam lines. The cryocooled undulator (cpmu) has been operating since August 2010 while the superconducting wigglers have been operating for more than 4 years (SCW-1) and 2 years (SCW-2). We will report on the first year of operation of the cpmu including details of its spectral output and cryogenic performance. Our experience of the cooling system and measures taken to ensure reliability and to minimize the risks of a prolonged downtime are also presented. The two superconducting wigglers are exposed to a high heat load due to the beam heating of the inner liner. Until recently this resulted in a much higher helium consumption than specified and so recently a new liner has been fitted to SCW-1 and new re-condensers to SCW-2. In addition a thermal bridge has been made between the RF tapers and the outer heat shield of both SCW-1 and SCW-2. The results of these improvements will be presented.

Diamond Light Source has two superconducting wigglers and one cryocooled undulator installed serving three beam lines. The cryocooled undulator (cpmu) has been operating since August 2010 while the superconducting wigglers have been operating for more than 4 years (SCW-1) and 2 years (SCW-2). We will report on the first year of operation of the cpmu including details of its spectral output and cryogenic performance. Our experience of the cooling system and measures taken to ensure reliability and to minimize the risks of a prolonged downtime are also presented. The two superconducting wigglers are exposed to a high heat load due to the beam heating of the inner liner. Until recently this resulted in a much higher helium consumption than specified and so recently a new liner has been fitted to SCW-1 and new re-condensers to SCW-2.
