Q&A’s
Can I use my Camera's Flash Commander mode or my TTL speedlite in master mode, to trigger the Lumi Flashes?
- The Lumi heads all feature an intelligent slave mode (slave mode 2) which allows them to be triggered with a TTL speedlite or your Camera's pop-up flash. However your camera’s pop-up flash or speedlite can only be used to optically trigger the Lumi flashes.
What is Advantages do your Pro AC Flash Triggers have over other Flash triggers on the market such as PocketWizards?
- With our Pro AC Triggers, you have the ability to remotely control the Power Output of all of our flashes individually, or simultaneously in up to 16 different groups. This saves you from having to go up to each and every light individually to change the power of each light. It is also great for lights that are on a boom, removing the need to climb a ladder or to lower your boom to change the settings. You can also switch modelling lamps on and off with our triggers.
NOTE: Only compatible with PIXAPRO Studio Strobes and Portable Flashes.
My photos look great when reviewing on them camera screen but seem a lot darker/brighter when viewed on a computer. How do I set my camera up to show a preview of the image on my computer screen immediately after I take a picture?
- While the screen at the back of your camera will give you a fair idea of how your photograph is going to look, it doesn’t give you an accurate representation of your exposure as the screen on the back of your camera isn’t calibrated. If need to see a more accurate representation of your photograph as you shoot, it is possible to connect most DSLR cameras to your computer which will give you a more accurate representation of your exposure (tethering to a computer with a calibrated screen is recommended).
In order to do this, you will need software that supports “Tethered Capture” (such as Adobe Lightroom or Apple Aperture etc.) and also some way of connecting your camera to your computer (usually via a USB cable).
Please NOTE: Not all cameras support Tethered Capture, and not all software that supports tethered capture supports all cameras. Check with the manufacturers beforehand.
I regularly use multiple light set ups (1x Main Light, 2x Side lights and 1x Hair Light etc.), and I would like to know if you were to set each of these lights up in different groups, would they all fire at the same time?
<p>If so, how do you make it so that you only fire one or two groups at a time?</p>
- So long as all of your lights are set to the same channel, they should all fire regardless of what group they are set to. The groups are basically just for controlling the individual lights. If you need to have it so that only certain flashes fire, all you need to do is set the lights that you don’t need to the “OFF” setting from the trigger (represented by “OF” on the LCD display on the trigger, and on the Digital Display on the flash head).
For Example, if you set your key light to group 1, your side lights are set to group 2 and your hair light is set to group 3, then you decide that you don’t want your hair light to fire on this shot, all you need to do is simply turn the dial on your trigger to group three, and set that light to off (which is shown on the digital display on your trigger and light as “OF”), and then it won’t fire… Similarly if you didn’t want your key light to fire, then you’d just turn the dial to group 1 and set the key light to off, then your key light won’t fire anymore and so on and so forth.

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.

Lights, Camera, Awesome!,
Value for money here is paramount! - these strobes are awesome - Great power range, modelling lamp and solid reliable build. So good in fact i bought a second one. My goto gear people. Keep it up Pixapro!
Very impressive kit!
I bought this kit at the photography show after being able to try it out. I am seriously impressed with the quality of everything. The carrying case has wheels and is a bonus. Everything fits in the case including the stands and softboxes. Light heads have metal casing.Took everything out of the case, put together, plugged in triggers and transmitter and it worked perfectly first time. Very little delay between shots. I hardly noticed any to be honest. Not the lightest weight kit and I wouldn't recommend it if you aim to use public transport. .. but if it's in the car and off it's perfect. The softboxes are great quality and quite large at 60 x 90 cm. Not the easiest things to put up but it gets easier once you've done it a couple of times. I may get easy assemble softboxes in the future if I travel with it much. This kit has a 2 year warranty as well. Personally I'm delighted.
Bargain and top marks
I bought a set to suplliment my exsiting studio lights, I find I use them more as they are more user friendly, and better built
Highly recommended
LUMI200 II Kit
