Product OVERVIEW A B* The Bowens Ringlite Converter has been developed by working closely with professional photographers to create a unique light modifier suitable for a wide range of photographic applications. The Ringlite Converter meets the high standards demanded by todays professional studios and is compatible with all Bowens flash heads that use the current `S'type reflector mount. [. . . ] Maximum workrate can therefore be judged on an average pro-rata basis e. g. a 1000Ws unit (at full power) flashing every 20 seconds. It is normal for the front of the Ringlite Converter to warm up during operation. If the front becomes too hot to touch comfortably then it is recommended the user either reduces their workrate or leaves the unit for a sufficient amount of time to cool down.

Because various Bowens flash heads have the `S'-type reflector mount positioned differently the user can simply change / adjust the position of the `S'-type adaptor connected to the Ringlite making it completely compatible with a vast range of Bowens flash heads / monolights. The various positions to place the `S'-type reflector mount for the different Bowens heads are listed below: CAMERA BRACKET The Ringlite Converter is supplied with two camera brackets to enable the photographer to position and hold their camera in a fixed position. The Ringlte Converter includes one `landscape' bracket and one `portrait' bracket. The Ringlite Converter can also be used without the camera bracket if so desired. The `landscape' camera bracket is fully adjustable to enable the user to place their camera in the optimum position for use with the bracket. The landscape bracket can be positioned up or down (see figure 1. ) as well as left to right. [. . . ] Finally place the 45mm synthetic washer over the mounting bolt on the portrait bracket (see figure 3. ) to hold the camera in place once connected (see figure 4. ). Figure 5. Figure 6.
