Q&A’s
I keep getting a black bar in my image when I use my flash. Is there something wrong with it?
- The chances are your shutter speed is too high. The maximum shutter speed that can be used with a studio flash is called the “Sync Speed” which varies from camera to camera but is usually between 1/125th sec and 1/250th sec (please refer to your camera’s user manual). Most SLR cameras use what’s called a Curtain Shutter which consists of a first curtain, and a second curtain. When you take a photograph, the first curtain will open, and at the end of the exposure the second curtain follows behind it to close the shutter. At shutter speeds below your camera’s sync speed, the first curtain will open fully before the second curtain closes. However, at shutter speeds faster than your camera’s sync speed the second curtain doesn’t have time to wait for the first curtain to fully open and starts to close while the first curtain is still going. Since flashes don’t fire until the first curtain is fully open, at shutter speeds faster than your camera’s synch speed, the second curtain has already started to close leaving you with a black bar (which is actually the second curtain starting to come across). Sometimes the flash trigger that you use can affect the shutter speed that you can use also, so if this is still happening whilst using your camera’s sync speed, check that your flash trigger can be used at that particular shutter speed.
Can I use the Modelling Bulb as a Constant Light for Stills or Video?
- Although our Flash kits do have continuous modelling bulbs, but they're not really bright enough to do any video work or photography. They are only designed to give you an idea of where the highlights and shadows are going to fall on your subject when you take your flash exposure. Though it is possible, we would not recommend that you use the modelling lights on your flash kit as a constant light, as the modelling lights are generally not as bright as the lights from a dedicated continuous lighting head. In order to get a decent exposure, you would need to use a very high ISO and/or a very wide aperture setting on your camera. Using a higher ISO setting will result in a reduction of image sharpness due to increased noise in your image. When using a wider aperture, your focusing need to be more critical as when you are using very wide apertures (e.g. F/2.0 or F1.4) your depth of focus is very shallow, and the slightest movement could cause you to miss focus completely.
What does the Slave Cell Do?
- A slave cell is a sensor built into all of our flash heads that will trigger your flash when it detects the light from another electronic flash, or from an infra-red flash trigger. Slave cells require line of sight, so they may not operate around corners and bright sunlight can sometimes interfere with the signal from another flash. In a home or a in a small to medium sized studio they work with relatively few problems.
How do I Achieve a Pure White Background?
- To achieve a pure white background you need to light your background separately to your main subject otherwise the background will appear grey due to light fall off. First of all, you need to be able to pull your subject away from the background if possible to prevent any bounced/reflected light from the background affecting your subject. Then you need to light your background to be about 1-1½ stops brighter (2x brighter) than your main subject allowing you to essentially blowing out (over exposing) your background. If the output from your background lights are too low, the background will appear grey. However, if your background lights are set too high, the light will begin to eat into your subject resulting in an undesirable muddy look with little contrast. You also increase your risk of getting flare in your lens. Ideally your background needs to be lit with at least two lights (one from each side) resulting in a more evenly lit background and to avoid getting dark areas on your final photograph or video footage.
What Voltage is required for your lights?
- All of our mains powered products require a voltage of 220-240v (which is the mains voltage used in the UK and most of Europe) to operate properly.

Excellemt Quality Light
I have only recently started to equip my home studio. I already have some much cheaper Chinese strobe flash lights (about £40 to £50 each) which, although they work satisfactorily, are nowhere near the build quality and versatility of this Pixapro Lumi light. It is strongly built in metal rather than plastic so that I am happy to hang a soft box onto it, which with cheaper plastic lights would not be a good idea. It has a strong and well made clamp to adjust the angle of the light, which doesn't slip when a soft box is added. It is heavier than a plastic light but is nicely balanced with no toppling risk until light modifiers are fitted, but this is not a problem with a decent quality stand ballasted with sand bag or weights and well spread legs.
It has an internal cooling fan and independently controllable model, strobe light and beep function. It can work as a master or slave light. If you have a radio transmitter with built in control functions fitted to your camera hot shoe then light brightness settings (model and strobe} are adjustable from the camera. There is a USB socket to plug an all singing/dancing wireless receiver into for full remote control, as well as the usual 3.5mm sync socket for sync cable or simple basic triggering receiver. A nice touch is the provision of a hole in the reflector to enable an umbrella to be fitted with the reflector attached.
I didn't mind paying more to get so much more quality and versatility. It's too early to be able to comment on how well it will last with regular and hard use but am optimistic in view of its build quality. The instruction manual is well written too, without the usual poor English often found with so many other products.
