The Impact Digital Monolight includes a preinstalled flash
tube and a modeling lamp that’s packed separately in the
box. Both lights are user replaceable. Be careful not to
touch the flash tube with your bare hands, since this could
cause damage to it. Use cotton gloves or a soft, dry cloth
when touching or handling the flash tube.
The monolight’s modeling lamp is a halogen bulb within a glass sleeve. You can
touch this glass without cotton gloves. However, wiping it with a cotton cloth
after handling it is recommended. To install the modeling lamp, see

the protective cap before plugging in or powering on the
unit. To remove the cap, push back the mount release and

on the bottom. Push back the mount release, fully insert the reflector, and turn it
clockwise. You’ll hear it click into place. Let go of the mount release.
