| Post subject: | modeling light question...please forgive my ignorance |
My vagabond mini is set to arrive monday. I will be using it with an X1600. If I dial the X1600 modeling light down to its lowest power settings am I still technically using 250w of power? I normally use my X1600 in 1/4 power mode and in most the shooting I haven't needed absolute full power. Just asking in case I don't need to make a trip to the store to pick up specific bulbs for the VML. |

The wattage of the bulb does reduce as you reduce power. In full power mode, the range of wattage is 250W to about 8W. In 1/4 power mode, the range is 60W to about 2W. |
