HOW TO USE REFLEX
There are 3 distinct mode; Continuous, Burst, and Con-
tinuous interrupted by Burst upon triggering.
1. Continuous
• Rotate dial to desired power output in lumens.
• Your trigger may also allow remote adjustment of
continuous power.
• Maximum power from the battery handle is 6000
lumens.
• Maximum power from a 100W USB-C source is 9000
lumens.
2. Digital Burst
• When set to REG, rotate the dial to set burst power.
Maximum burst power is 1 stop more light than maxi-
mum continuous mode.
• In Duration mode , rotate the dial to set duration
from 0.4ms (1/2500 sec) to 6ms (1/160th sec).
3. Continuous light that Bursts upon triggering
• Sync Reflex with trigger (same as Digital Burst Mode)
• Set Constantlight (using dial or trigger)
• Set Burst power with trigger. Trigger signal will
cause the light to deliver Burst power.
• Set your exposure to -1 when link is set to ∝2. When
shutter opens Reflex will deliver extra stop of light.
