Just picked a Westcott Halo Mono for my Genesis 200 strobe. Noticed a small tag on it as I was pulling the material over my reflector dish. The tag indicated that the material was flammable. Maybe I'm just too new to studio gear but why is flammable material used in such an application? Do all manfacturers use this type of material? Does this mean that I shouldn't use the modeling lamp? If it was attached to a speedring I wouldn't be concerned but this diffuser is umbrella mounted and obviously makes contact with the reflector (by design it stretches around the reflector and is fastened with velcro).
