The White Lightning Ultra Series Cooling Fan

We offer the UFAN Ultra Cooling Fan as an upgrade for your White Lightning Ultra Series Flash Units. The UFAN is slipped onto the joining slot on your Ultra Series flash unit, and positioned over the cooling vents in the flash head to keep the head cool in situations where extraordinary demands on the unit would cause heat build-up.

The cooling fan works best when mounted on top of the Ultra, blowing the air down the front of the unit. The fan, however, can be mounted underneath the unit, or on its side. The base of the fan fits into the groove slots on any side of the Ultra, and is secured by the thumbscrew. The fan’s power cord will replace the standard Ultra power cord, as the Ultra power cord is plugged into the fan, then the fan’s power cord is plugged into an AC power source. The switch on the back side of the fan will become responsible for powering on or off both the fan and the Ultra unit itself. Since the fan should not be mounted to an Ultra unless it is operational, having the power switch on the fan itself ensures that when the unit is on, the fan is on as well. This protects the fan, as heat build-up from the modeling lamp and flashtube could damage it, if the unit were powered on, and the fan was not turned on.

To mount the cooling fan, simply fit the base into the groove slots of the Ultra on either the top, bottom, or side. Once the fan has been positioned, it is secured with a thumbscrew on the back of the fan. After secured, the fan is ready to be used. Plug your Ultra power cord into the fan, and plug your fan power cord into an AC power source. To turn both the unit and fan on, place the switch in the UP position, and begin shooting. When you are ready to turn both the fan and the unit off, place the switch in the DOWN position, and unplug the fan power cord from its AC source.
