How to setup PIXAPRO 2x4m Dual Sided Vinyl Backdrop and Telescopic Background Support (2.8x3.0m) ?
- Here is a quick video demonstration setup PIXAPRO 2x4m Dual Sided Vinyl Backdrop and Telescopic Background Support (2.8x3.0m)
I have a 400Ws flash and, I would like to know if I can use a 200Ws flash tube with it as I would like to go below the minimum power of my current flash?
- The flash power is stored in capacitors inside the flash head and are not produced by the flash tube itself, so using a using a flash tube with a lower wattage capacity could result in blowing the flash tube blowing and cause damage to your flash head.
If you would like to reduce the power of your flash even further, there are a few things that you can do:
- You could move your lights further back from your subject (doubling the distance of your light will reduce your light’s exposure by approximately two stops).
- You can add extra diffusion to your modifier (e.g. diffusion material from a softbox, or the diffuser inside a 5in1 reflector etc.).
- You can use Neutral-Density (or ND) gel filter on your modifier which you can purchase from most theatre supply stockists. (Please note: do not place ND Gel too close to the modelling bulb as it could prove to be a fire hazzard).
- You could use an ND filter on your camera’s lens to reduce the amount of light entering your lens.
Any of the above techniques, by themselves or in combination will enable you to further reduce the light output from your lights.
How do I replace the Fuses in the LUMI400?
- To access the fuses in the LUMI400, you will need to remove the panel which is placed just above the plug socket. To do this, there is a little tab just on the inside of the plug socket which you will need to pop open with a screwdriver to make the fuses visible. There should be two fuses inside the light, the main fuse is at the front and the spare fuse is towards the back. You can simply switch these fuses and this should resolve your issue.
