- Page 4 Fitting The Unit To a Light Stand It is recommended that the F200/F400 be used with medium-weight lighting stands with standard 16mm male spigots. The stands must be stable when fitted with the unit and reflectors, umbrellas or soft-boxes and when they are extended to full height. If the stand and unit fall over, severe damage to the flash-unit is likely.

Remove the cap by turning it anti-clockwise until the cap bayonets can be lifted out of the reflector bayonet slots (the Reflector Release Button may have to be slid back).

Page 10: Fuse Replacement
Fuse Replacement The F200/400 fuse protects the unit from further damage after a component malfunction. In many cases, the cause of a fuse blowing may simply be a modelling lamp failure. Some lamps temporarily short-circuit when they fail causing the unit's fuse to blow; there may then be no other malfunction in the unit. - Page 11 Lastolite Lastolite Lumen8 F200 Lumen8 F400 Stored Energy 200 w/s 400 w/s Guide Number (m/100iso) Recycling Time (100%) 0.3 ~ 0.9 sec 0.4 ~ 1.6 sec Flash Duration 1/700 ~ 1/1700 sec 1/700 ~ 1/1700 sec Flash Power Full ~ 1/32nd...
