Security Advise
• The maximum modelling lamp wattage for all Rotalux softboxes is
limited to 300 W
• Ensure that the Rotalux is correctly assembled and locked to the
flash unit.
• The unit, the flash tube 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 flash tube or the modelling lamp.
• The metal Speed Ring and the locking knob for the revolving
system 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 flashunits is working correctly.
• Double check that the internal fabric diffuser is correctly fitted and
does not make contact with the hot flash tube and modelling lamp.
• Lower the modelling lamp power and reduce the number of flashes
per minute, when small size softboxes are used, such as the
Rotalux models 26178-26180-26181-26175. The reflective surface
is very close to the modelling lamp/ flashtube. The fabric, can be
damaged by excessive heat.
• Optional Rotagrids for direct lighting are available for the Rotalux
70x70 cm, 60x80 cm and the 90x110 cm.
• Lighttools™ offers a wide range of grids in different sizes and
angles for Rotalux softboxes.
• Adapter Speed Rings for other flash brands such as Profoto™,
Bowens™, Hensel™, Alien-Bees™ / Balcar™ are available soon.
Adapters for additional brands are in process.
