Can I use the Lumi 200 II with my camera's existing flash trigger?

What is the modelling lamp wattage?
The unit includes a 150W modelling lamp.
Troubleshooting
Flash not firing
Ensure the unit is powered on, check that the flash is fully recycled (ready beep/light active), verify wireless trigger connection and settings, and confirm the modelling lamp is not set to 'off' if visual confirmation is expected.
Inconsistent power output
Check power cable connections. Ensure the unit is not overheating. Reset the flash to factory settings if available and recalibrate power levels.
Wireless control not working
Verify that the wireless trigger and flash are set to the same channel and group. Check battery levels in both the trigger and the flash. Ensure the flash is within the trigger's operational range.
Modelling lamp is dim or off
Check the modelling lamp setting on the flash. Ensure the lamp is not in 'off' mode or set to proportional output. If the lamp is faulty, it may require professional replacement.
