Lamp Heads
Pro-8a is designed for all of the present state-of-the-art Pro heads and light shaping tools. For
selected previous models of Profotos lamp heads were is a simple update for compatible
fan cooling at 100–120V markets.
ProHead
The standard heavy-duty flash lamp head is the Profoto ProHead, built for producing
flashes with Pro-8a, up to 2400 Ws over and over again, hour after hour. It has an integrated
high efficient, long life halogen model-pilot lamp with a switch and a fuse. A thermally
controlled 2-speed efficient fan provide silent cooling. For safety reasons thermal
protection is built-in.
The flashtube and halogen lamp are protected by a diffusing glass cover also serving as a
light source corresponding filter and color correction filter. Optional glass cover versions
are available. The optimized flash tube is made by high grade UV-free filtered quarts glass
and heavy duty electrodes to maximize lifetime.
Protwin
When demands are even tougher, the Profoto ProTwin is available with two flash tubes that
effectively double the performance. Used with a single generator, it can produce shorter
flash durations by splitting half of the power to two flash tubes. Used with two Pro-8a 2400
Air, it can half the recycling speed or double the light energy, up to 4800 Ws.
Powered from one of the two connected cables ProTwin has an integrated high efficient
halogen model-pilot lamp with a switch and a fuse. A thermally controlled 2-speed
efficient fan provides silent cooling. For safety reasons thermal protection is built-in. The
flashtube and halogen lamp are protected by a diffusing glass cover also serving as a light

ProRing, with the capacity of up to four 2400 Ws flashes per minute. An entirely mobile
source of light, the ring flash fits all Pro-7 generators. The adjustable tripod mount bracket
and the wide interior (100 mm diameter) makes the ProRing compatible with all types of
cameras as well as most lenses. Optional accessory reflectors expand the ring flash’s
