When inserting a new flash tube, make sure the contact pins go all the way in. Then, reposition the
protective glass in front of the modelling lamp and the flash tube by turning it in an axial direction
as far as it will go. When the protective glass engages with the fastening clips of the lamp, make
sure the clips snap into the cutouts of the protective glass to prevent unintended detachment.
14.4 replace halogen lamp
attention: before replacing the halogen lamp, make sure the lampbase is unplugged at the
power pack! let the lamp cool down for at least 10 minutes before replacing the halogen lamp!
The halogen lamp is also a plug-in type. In the interest of a long service life, avoid touching the
halogen lamp with bare hands. The halogen lamp replacement procedure is largely identical with
the flash tube replacement.
The Litos lamp can be operated with a halogen lamp that matches the local voltage (100–240 V).
Additionally, a halogen lamp rated 120 V can be used with any available mains voltage (see section
9.5).
14.5 cooling fan
The flash tube and the halogen lamp are cooled with a fan in the lamp. It also operates when the
modelling light is switched off.
14.6 thermal protection
The lamps are equipped with a thermal protection feature. If the lamps should overheat (for in-
stance if circulation of cooling air is obstructed), the modelling light will switch off. Flashes can
still be triggered.
14.7 lamp plug
The lamp plugs and sockets are fitted with a mechanical interlock to prevent unintended discon-
nection. When plugging a lamp in, make sure the interlock fully engages. To detach the cable,
press the locking spring beneath the cable guide down and pull the plug out of the socket. The
power pack must be switched off when connecting and disconnecting lamp cables.
14.8 attachment of light shapers (reflectors, area lamps, etc.)
The Litos lamp is equipped with a lockable bayonet mount for the attachment of light shapers and
allows 360° rotation of the mounted accessories.
14.9 fuses
Use only sand-filled fuses of the type indicated on the rating plate. Otherwise, the halogen lamp
could “blow”.
14.10 umbrella holder
The umbrella reflector (Art. No. 33.496.00) is designed to accommodate diffusion and reflection
umbrellas. The umbrella rod is plugged into the special holder located beneath the housing on the
left side next to the cable holder.
