    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.

    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.
