Note: Before using the Phottix Indra500 TTL Studio Light, please read this in-
struction manual carefully. 

The Phottix Indra500 TTL is a battery and AC powered portable studio light with 
a built-in radio and optical pulse wireless receiving function. It offers TTL, Manu-
al and Multi Stroboscopic modes, as well as high speed sync and second curtain 
sync functions. The Phottix Indra500 TTL Studio Light is compatible with many 
existing Phottix products.  

Safety instructions

● 

The Indra500 contains high voltage electronic parts. Do not disassem-

ble or attempt to repair the Indra500. Keep this product out of the reach 
of children.

● 

Never use this product near combustible gases, solvents or in an envi-

ronment with a high electrical charge.

● 

Make sure all plugs and cables are well connected during charging 

and use.

 Disconnect the Indra500 TTL Studio light from a power source for 10 

minutes before changing the flash tube. Use caution, the flash tube can 
get very hot.

 Do not touch the external power port and ensure it does not have con-

tact with any metal objects – this could cause electric shocks and serious 
injury.

 The external power source should not exceed the technical specifica-

tions in this manual.

  The external power should be used in an environment with good ven-

tilation. Do not use this product in dusty or sandy conditions.

 This product is not waterproof. Keep it away from rain, snow and high 

humidity conditions.

 Do not clean the product with organic solvent or alcohol-based liquid.

 Do not put opaque objects in front of the studio flash head when firing 

the studio light. The heat energy emitted by the Indra500 may cause ob-
jects to burn, or cause damage to the studio flash tube.

 Use your studio light safely. Do not fire the Indra500 into the eyes of 

people or animals at short distances this may cause damage to the eyes 
and/or blindness.

 Do not leave the studio light in a hot location (direct sunlight, in a 

closed car, etc.).

 Should you notice smoke or an unusual smell coming from this prod-

uct, immediately turn off the power switch on the studio light.

  Turn off the power switch on the studio light when not being used for 

an extended period of time.

 Remove the front cover before operating the studio light. Otherwise, 

the front cover will get deformed or cause a fire due to the high temper-
ature of the studio light.

 Use caution in touching the studio flash head after use. It may still be 

hot and could cause burns.

 Consult local authorities on the proper disposal or recycling of a Phot-

tix Indra500 TTL Studio Light.
