light shaping tools.
For selected previous models of Profotos lamp heads were is a simple
update for compatible fan cooling at 100-120V markets.

ProHead

The standard heavy-duty fl ash lamp head is the Profoto ProHead, built
for producing fl ashes with Pro-8a, up to 2400 Ws over and over again,
hour after hour. It has an integrated high effi cient, long life halogen mod-
el-pilot lamp with a switch and a fuse. A thermally controlled 2-speed
effi cient fan provide silent cooling. For safety reasons thermal protection
is build-in.
The fl ashtube and halogen lamp are protected by a diffusing glass cover
also serving as a light source corresponding fi lter and color correction
fi lter. Optional glass cover versions are available. The optimized fl ash
tube is made by high grade UV-free fi ltered quarts glass and heavy duty
electrodes to maximize lifetime.

ProTwin

When demands are even tougher, the Profoto ProTwin is available with
two fl ash tubes that effectively double the performance. Used with a
single generator, it can produce shorter fl ash durations by splitting half of
the power to two fl ash tubes. Used with two Pro-8a 2400 Air, it can half
the recycling speed or double the light energy, up to 4800 Ws.
Powered from one of the two connected cables ProTwin has an integra-
ted high effi cient halogen model-pilot lamp with a switch and a fuse. A
thermally controlled 2-speed effi cient fan provides silent cooling. For
safety reasons thermal protection is built-in. The fl ashtube and halogen
