Does this light set up need a batter power supply for each light when electricity is not available?
When an AC outlet is not available, you may use the Photogenic Ion Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System, BH #PHION to power these two Photogenic PL1250C monolights.

question
How do i maintain the capacitor in a power light?
The Photogengic PowerLight PL1250 Monolight comes in 120VAC or 220VAC. 120VAC is USA.The Capacitors are inside off the PL1250, just like capacitor is inside of most speedlites/speedlights, as soon as you turn On the Switch- the Capacitors should be charged. Then you set your power manually by either up or down. Pressing higher power (brighter light) will charge the Pl-1250 more, up to 500ws (500watts second).The Center Bulb is called the Modeling Light and you can turn that On/Off & adjust the brightness of it. Once the Capacitors are fully charged (much faster than speedlites & very powerful), then you are ready to enjoy beautiful lighting. There are five ways that you can discharge the Capacitors:1. Press the Test Button.2. Shoot using your hoshoe flash (must turn off the pre-flash) to trigger wireless IR to PL1250.3. Attaches a 1/4 Phone Plug to PC Sync Cable from PL1250 to camera's Hotshoe.4. Attaches ATG/Pocket Wizard/wireless radio trigger (receiver or transceiver) into the 1/4 Socket of PL1250. You will need a short ATG/Pocket Wizard/radio trigger of 1/4 PC Sync Cable. B&H Photo sells it. Then mount ATG transmitter/transceiver onto the camera hotshoe. Set camera to M on the dial. Set Shutter Speed to up to Flash Sync Speed (1/250, 1/200, 1/125 or lower). Use a Light Meter or Camera LCD's Histogram to check PL1250's light hitting to your subject. And adjust power to your flavors.5. Turning Off the switch.When done for the day or storage, always set PL1250 power to minimum.During cold weathers or cold studio, do not turn on and have it set at Mid or Full Power.Wait for the PL1250 to warm up then enjoy making beautiful arts.If PL1250 is not used much, like beyond 4+ months, just flash the power from low to high and high to low.This will maintain those Capacitors for many years of lighting.
