Replacing Modeling Lamps/Flashtubes: Refer to the video below when changing your modeling lamp and flashtube. As a reminder, f you are choosing to use an LED bulb for the modeling lamp on the White Lightning X-series, be certain that it is DIMMABLE.
Sync Cord Compatibility: All Paul C. Buff, Inc. flash units arrive with a 15' sync cord for connecting to a camera's PC sync terminal. Not all camera's are equipped with a PC sync terminal. If you plan on using this cable, and not wireless remotes, you may need a hot shoe adapter. Check your camera's compatibility.
