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.

Amazon Review
Having been a studio based owner photographer now retired I just do Passport and ID photos from home based studio. My last Elinchrom died I need a replacement Asap, I picked the Pixapro 400 arrived in 2-3 days after a couple of quick tests I am really pleased with the results of the finished prints and the quality and power of the Flash Head, easy to use quick to change settings with good visual display consistent outputs. It seems well made and comes with everything you need for an instant start.
Five Stars
Great product. Very happy with the quality.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
PIXAPRO® LUMI400 1200Ws Three Head Kit with Trigger and Receiver (400/400/400)
Perfect Kit to start a professional Studio. It is quality and reliable. I would recommend
Brilliant product - just as it should be.
I already have two 200Ws Pixapro Lumi studio Flash heads which I am very happy with, but decided to get the more powerful 400Ws version as my main light so that there is plenty of power when using soft boxes with diffusers and other light modifiers. I decided to use this same UK based seller again because of their fast delivery service, UK backup and warranty and so I could be certain that it would be designed for UK voltage and fitted with UK 3 pin plug and power cable.
This light has all the features that I consider to be important: Flash brightness as claimed and verified using my light meter, wireless USB port for optional wireless control , 6 stop range, internal cooling fan, auto power dump, reflector supplied, glass dome lamp protector supplied, auto memory, LED power display.
I already have a wireless transmitter and spare receiver for use with this light and everything works as it should do. I like being able to switch off modelling lights remotely rather than using the manual switch on the back of the head to avoid shaking a hot modelling bulb and reducing its life span.
So everything is up and go for my next shoot in two days time
