The PiXAPRO® Li-ion580 II TTL Light Blaster Kit, along with a Canon EF or EF-S lens (Nikon F Mount Adapter is also available) allows you to transform an ordinary wall into a creative background of patterns, landscapes, people and places. Use your vacation slides to place your subject in a crowd or on a bridge or in a village square.
The PIXAPRO® Li-ION580II is a powerful TTL speedlite. Unlike traditional speedlites which run off of 4x AA batteries, the Li-ION580II uses a rechargeable 2000mAh Lithium Ion (Li-Ion) rechargeable battery. Since it is powered by a Li-ion battery as opposed to AA batteries, it has ultra-fast recycling times of up to 1.5 seconds at full power with virtually no slowdown as the power as the battery power diminishes. The battery can power up to approximately 650 full-power flashes per charge, removing the need for bulky external battery packs, or a bags of AA batteries.
As well as being powered by a Li-Ion battery, the PIXAPRO® Li-ion580 II also features a Built-In 2.4GHz receiver making it fully compatible with the Pixapro ST-III S TTL flash trigger system. The PIXAPRO® Li-ion580 II, together the Pro ST-III S have a massive working range of up to 100m in an open area. You also have a choice of 32 different channel, and 5x groups giving you maximum flexibility for your photographic projects.
The Li-ION580II also has Master and Slave functionality, allowing it to be optically triggered and controlled wirelessly off-camera by other Li-ION580II speedlites.
The Li-ION580II also has other features usually associated with TTL compatible flashes, including High-Speed Sync (up to 1/8000 sec), Second-Curtain Sync, Flash-Exposure Compensation (up to 3 stops).
The PIXAPRO® Li-ION580II Speedlite has an 8-stop power range (1/1 to 1/128 power) adjustable in 1/3 stop increments, with flash durations between 1/300 second to 1/20,000 second (dependant on flash power output) which opens up a whole world of possibilities. It also features a variety of different flash modes. This includes a multi-flash mode, which can be set to between 2 and 90 flashes at a frequency between 1 and 100Hz (flashes per second), which allows you to create many different effects such as stroboscopic photography. It features a user-friendly interface, with a large LCD screen with large, easy to access buttons and a control dial, which allows you to quickly and easily adjust your flash settings.
This is the Speedlite that both amateur and professional photographers have been waiting for a long time.
The PiXAPRO® Li-ion580 II TTL Light Blaster Kit, is the perfect solution for the photographer requires a small-portable strobe-based projector to add some creativity to their photography

Q&A’s
Hello, I am having an issue getting my speedlite to trigger in slave with the PRO AC Trigger?
- There could be two reasons as to why you have this issue: 1st You may have your Speedlite in Optical Slave Mode. If you keep pressing the button directly above the power-switch, until you get to an orange screen that says "SLAVE", and has a wireless symbol in the top-left hand corner, then you have your speedlite in the correct mode to receive a wireless signal from the trigger. 2nd Your Trigger isn’t set to the correct channel. You can either set your speedlite to the same channel that is currently on your trigger, or you can set both the trigger and speedlite to Channel one by making sure that the switches on the trigger are down and this should have the synced up together. Please refer to your manual for the accurate channel settings for your trigger.
I am having issues printing a slide at home, as the black in semi-transparent. How can i solve this issue?
- Unfortunately, some printers aren't capable to make the black completely opaque. One option is to stack two of the transparencies together.
What lens should I use with the Light Blaster?
- The lens’s focal length totally depends on your creative vision, the size of the object you want to light and the distance from that subject. Just like when “taking” a picture. The longer the focal length, the tighter the projection, so you can splash a wall with a wide lens or paint a heart on a chest with a tele. My only recommendation is to use a fast (i.e. wide aperture) lens.
Do you have any suggestions for lighting when the Light Blaster is in use?
- Please be aware that any other light sources being used will compete with the light coming the the Light Blaster.
When I set up the Light Blaster to shoot against a smooth background, I see horizontal patterns in the light area of the projection. What are those and how to remove them?
- Most likely those lines are a projection of the plastic pattern on the front diffusion cover of your strobe. You can either pull the strobe back a bit or cover it with some diffusion material.
