    Are these flash heads perfect, no they are not. If you are chasing perfection, you will probably never find it and if you are looking for perfection in a flash head under $200 then you will never be happy with them. I have had these in my studio for almost 3 years. I have had no major problems with them. The color and intensity fluctuates from time-to-time and maybe every thousand flashes or so it will misfire. But seriously they are under $200!! I have a rental studio and these guys get a TON of use. At this price point the build quality is fabulous. They have proven to be very durable (trust me, my customers can be hard on them). Other than expected maintenance (changing bulbs) these strobes have performed like rock stars.

    Generally, a 150 watt modeling lamp can be used for several hours, but that will shorten its life.

    I am considering buying one of these to suppliment a QS600II setup. But I am wondering if the modeling light output would adjust in proportional mode to compensate for the 600WS lights, because 1/2 power for this would be less strobe than 1/2 power on the larger ones?
    Asked by: Fred
    Both flash use the same modeling lamp. Both modeling lamps have the same output at the same setting.

    Can I run two of these (QS400II ) strobes using a professional power strip? Only two strobes.
    Asked by: Wayne
    Yes, you can run two QS400II strobes using a professional power strip as long as the strip has sufficient surge protection similar to the APC SurgeArrest 11-Outlet Surge Protector.

    question

    Is there an LED or fluorescent light alternative for modeling light?
    Asked by: Carlos
    While there are screw base LED and fluorescent lamps, they cannot be dimmed in most cases and are two large to fit through the glass dome of this monolight.
