you can use this HTML code to change the font color without changing the whole blog template


<font color="color_name|hex_​number|rgb_number"> xxxxxxxxxx </font>

rgb(x,x,x) or #xxxxxx or colorname

for example :
<font color="red">This is some text!</font>
<font color="#ff0000">This is some text!</font>

Just a note about using <font> inline. It's no longer supported in HTML5 (all modern browsers) so you should use CSS instead & yes you can use it 'on page' Try giving your <p> tag a value in css


Something like <p style="colorarkGray">Your great text here.</p>

EDIT the smily face is : D without the space

My second time out with the rovelight and now it's constantly blowing fuses.... Any idea or should I call adorama?

Assuming you weren't doing anything you weren't suppose to do like plug in power while in use(slotted), then yes I would call Adorama. Normally battery powered strobe are safe. If the fuse blown while charging normally, then maybe something wrong with the powerline in your house/office or just that outlet. The RL-600 is not an AC monolight that you can have it plug-in while using it.

YIKES! I've been shooting mine for over a month now probably over a 1,000 pops 700 of those at full power my unit doesn't skip a beat.

I wouldve called adorama when the 1st fuse blew. That's not normal.

I was just shooting and my assistant noticed that the LCD was off on the rovelight. After trying to power it on I noticed the fuse was blown. I went to my car and pulled a spare 20A fuse out to try it, and as soon as the unit turned on it popped that fuse as well. The battery itself charged fine last night. I wasn't even exerting the light shooting it at 1/1. I was at 1/4th power for the majority of the time.

Looks like its time for an RMA I knew I shouldn't have thrown the shipping box away! Thanks for the input guys! Aside from this mishap I really LOVE the light.

Does the YN622C triggers work if I wanted to use these lights beyond 1/200?

Yeap,

It will do HSS from 1/1 to 1/16 power, at up to 1/8000s synch.

Very best,

I've never gotten my YN622C to sync faster than 1/400. HSS mode is on

Just a hobbyist here, but I finally tried some HSS (hypersync) with my Rovelight 600. I've used it plenty of times before but my first foray into the HSS mode. I gotta say it's pretty useful when I want to shoot wide open. The last photo was a 17 shot Brenizer panorama. They were all shot at the folowing:

Maybe it is how you use the 622c. I haven't use the RL seriously yet, but I did test the HSS w/ 622c and it works flawlessly all the way to 1/8000s. You don't use the RL remote at all in this case. Have a YN trigger on top of the camera and another 622c connect to the RL via PC sync cord.

thats how I have mine setup. as soon as I get my RL600 fixed I will try again and post my results. the batteries in my triggers may be a little old :S
does anyone know how long it takes for adorama to reply to customer support emails?

does the RL have PC sync or the microphone jack on its end? I bought a bunch of PCsync-microphone when I use using the godox/cheetah lights

yes, mic jack on the RL, and PC on the 622c
