| Post subject: | Ultra 600 and VML |
I have 2 early 1990's vintage Ultra 600 units. I just picked up the Mini Lithium and I love it. Just one question-I'm not getting nearly the number of pops at full power (about 250ws I think) that is stated in the specs. Might this be due to older circuitry; maybe analog components vs. newer digital? Would an Alien Bee 800 help in this regard? Thanks. p.s.-any idea why the VML won't charge an iphone? |

Assuming the VML is fully charged, which is to say the LED on the charger did turn red while charging, then turned green when complete, you should get 800-1000 shots with one light at full power (300Ws). A big drain of power would be the model lamp, so be sure it is off. A 150W bulb would drain the unit in less than an hour without any shots from the light. Your iPhone will not charge via the USB probably because it requires a 5VDC 1A power supply. The VML USB provides a 5VDC .5A supply. However, a wall charger plugged into the AC outlet will easily charge the phone. |
