PCB warns against trying this with their strobes. They specifically mention it about Alien Bees and Einsteins, so I don't know if the caution also applies to the White Lightnings. The warning is that their dimmers are only designed for tungsten bulbs. FYI ... Those hot modeling lights are just part of the cost of doing business with these strobes. I only burn myself once in a while now. :) The brand new Alien Bees -- called DigiBees -- have built in LED modeling lights. And they have many Einstein features too. They are looking great spec-wise, though I have yet to see one in the flesh. -- -bmw -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
