modelling lamp but can be equipped with a 500W lamp

Pro-B head

The Pro-B head is a small and easily transportable flash

head exclusively designed for the Pro-B2 and Pro-7b

generators. Please note that when changing modelling

light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp cable must be

disconnected from the generator. The modelling light

is a standard 100W lamp with an E11 socket. The flash

tube has two pins. When removing a flash tube, pull it

straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new

flash tube, check that the trigger-wire clasps properly

around the flash tube (please see mounting instructions

in package). The head has no fan. Because of the heat

generated there is a certain limitation to the number of

flashes per minute. At the back of the head there is a

thread for attaching accessories like handle (std. with

head) or a flex arm (Magic arm) to hold filters etc.

ProHead

The modelling light is turned on and off with the black switch

[1] at the back of the head. The built-in fan is a thermostati-

cally controlled 2-speed fan ensuring minimized sound level

and efficient cooling in all situations. Please note that when

changing modelling light, flash tube or glass cover the lamp

cable must be disconnected from the generator.

The modelling light has a mini-can socket (E11). The flash

tube has two metal pins. When removing a flash tube, pull it

straight out of the sockets. When inserting a new flash tube,

check that the trigger-wire clasps properly around the flash

tube (please see mounting instructions in package). When

mounting the glass cover, check that both locking springs

connect properly into glass cover holes. In case the head

overheats the modelling light automatically switches off.

When the temperature has dropped sufficiently the model-

ling light will switch on again. At the back of the head there

is a thread for attaching accessories like handle (std. with

head) or a flex arm (Magic arm) to hold filters etc.

There are glass covers for different colour temperatures

available. Loosening the handle [4] can easily alter the flash

head position. An umbrella can be mounted in the umbrella

holder. The ProHead is normally delivered with a 250W
