Troubleshooting
Light will not turn on
Ensure the power cable is securely connected to both the light and a functioning power outlet. Check that the power switch is in the 'on' position.
Light flickers during use
Verify that the power source is stable and not experiencing fluctuations. Ensure the firmware is up to date if applicable (refer to Profoto's support for firmware updates).
Overheating warning or shutdown
Ensure the ventilation ports are clear of dust and obstructions. Allow the unit to cool down in a well-ventilated area. If the issue persists, contact Profoto support.
Dimming is not smooth or stepless
Confirm that the dimming controls are being used correctly. Check the product manual for specific instructions on dimming operation. If the issue persists, there may be a firmware or hardware problem requiring professional service.
