The L-transformation is quadratic in the projective 3-space and originally based on an irreducible spatial cubic. Here the case is addressed where the cubic splits into a conic and a straight line. Two cases are distinguished depending on whether the conic and the line are disjoint or not. An analytic representation of the L-transformation is given and the images of planes and lines are studied in detail. Keywords: Lambda-transformation, quadratic transformation.
