SECURITY ADVISE

The maximum modelling lamp wattage for all Indirect Litemotiv softboxes is limited to 650 W.
Ensure that the Litemotiv is correctly assembled and locked to the flash unit.
The unit, the flashtube and accessories may become very hot during and after use! To avoid
injuries, handle with isolating cloth or wait until parts have cooled down.
Even though we use fire retardant materials; the fabric should never get in contact with the hot
flashtube or the modelling lamp.
The metal bracket may heat up enormously when the flash unit is used at maximum flash and
modelling lamp power levels. Please wait until the parts have cooled down, before packing away.
Always switch the flash unit off before fitting or exchanging reflectors and softboxes. Ensure that
the ventilation system of flash units is working correctly.
Double check that the internal fabric diffuser is correctly fitted and does not make contact with
the hot flashtube and modelling lamp.
The reflective surface is very close to the modelling lamp / flashtube. The fabric, can be damaged
by excessive heat. Lower the modelling lamp power and reduce the number of flashes per
minute to avoid overheating.
Ensure that no external hot light sources or other hot objects are directed to the outer fabrics of
this softbox. This may damage or even burn the fabrics.
Old or dirty diffusers may change the colour temperature and should be replaced after some
time. We recommend dry-cleaning for any dirty diffuser.
