THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURERS
Use only original Elinchrom accessories and reflectors. The warranty does not cover
damages forced by third party accessories and reflectors.
• Halogen lamps may generate high pressure during operation. Explosions may occur
with aged halogen lamps and incorrect fuse. For this reason the lamp is covered with a
glass dome.
• Damaged cables, glass domes and cases must be immediately replaced by customer
service.

• Metal reflectors can be used with 650 W halogen lamps, except small or narrow
reflectors such as snoots and grids for Reflectors, which can be damaged or even
burned by the excessive heat of the halogen lamp.
