Q: 7. How to keep the Modeling Light on continuously for the Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 500?

A: To turn on the modeling lamp, you would press the button that looks like an image of the sun on the right-hand side of the back of the light fixture. By pressing the button, you can scroll through the options OFF, FREE, which would allow you to to set the modeling lamp output to whichever setting you prefer, and PROP, which would set the output of the modeling lamp proportional to the output of the flash tube. The modeling lamp is designed to shut off momentarily when you trigger the strobe. However, it can be set to also dim temporarily when the flash is triggered, then return to full output power if you have VFC (Visual Flash Confirmation) set on the monolight. Also note that the modeling lamp is designed to switch off automatically at high internal temperatures due to the modeling light's overheat protection function. After cooling off, the halogen modeling lamp will switch back on automatically. Do note that this is a strobe unit, not a continuous light fixture

Q: 8. If i buy ELC Pro HD 500/100 from the USA , can I use it in Europe?

A: As the Elinchrom ELC Pro HD 1000 Flash Head's operating voltage is listed as 90 - 265 VAC, 50/60 Hz, yes, it may be used in European countries. However, if the country you are visiting uses 220-240V voltage, you would need to purchase either the Sylvania / Osram Lamp (300W/230V), B&H # SY300W230V, or the Kaiser Halogen Lamp 300W 230V 3200K, B&H # KAHALGLAMP, for use as the modeling lamp, as the included modeling lamp is designed for use on 100-120V current and would not be compatible for use in Europe. Also, do note that you would have to use a plug adapter to convert the USA plug to the plug type used in the country in which you will be using the strobe unit.

Q: 9. Can you hard wire to these lights? with a PC Sync?

Q: 10. I hear a lot about how previous Elinchrom users complain that the Elinchrom mount is not very sturdy and can wear out easily. Can someone clarify and share their experience with this issue? Has the mount on your strobe (and any light modifiers) worn out yet, or do they function fine?

A: Hi,The Elinchrom mount is very sturdy and robust! The issue some users encounter is mounting it on a C-Stand type spigot. Different manufacturers of C-Stands, booms and other types of spigots have different depths between the top of the mount and the part where it recesses and then the bottom of the mount. The Elinchrom receiver is designed to ANSI standards for a 5/8 /16mm spigot. Usually this is a threaded top style type spigot.There is an adapter coming from KUPO which will address this and allow users who use C-Stands or spigots with the different depth.KG013212 will be available in stores by the end of April.I hope this helps.Regards,Will HBrand Manager Lighting, Mac Group US
