Elinchrom Ranger RX modeling lamps

Can a higher wattage bulb be used on these heads for the modeling lamp?

Thanks

You mean higher than 250 W? I think 250 W is the highest I've seen for them.

It appears they are 50w in the Ranger RX A and S heads.

"The modelling lamp is only available, when using the Free Lite S and A heads. The maximum modelling lamp for the power pack is 100 W / 12 V for only one connected flashhead or 50 W / 12 V each for two connected flashheads." (Ranger RX manual, page 7)

Guess you can plug in 100w lamp, but then again I don't have Ranger RX. And on my Quadra the LED modelling light is fixed.

Many thanks Oskar,

You Da Man!

Elinchrom's documentation is so limited that I didn't even think of looking at the manual.

I may get a 100w for one of my lights and always use it as key, leaving the other without.

Right. I didn't notice that you were referring to the Ranger Freelites. I was thinking about the Style RX strobes. Sorry.

That, unfortunately, is one serious down side to using the Ranger system in a studio or environment where modeling lights can not only be seen but are extremely useful.
