Notes on LED light thermal cut-out High to mid Mid to low Off When the LED light is operating at high power and the internal temperature reaches a certain point, the LED light output level falls to mid power [ ] and the right lamp of the LED light output level indicator lamps, which indicates high power, begins to flash slowly [ ]. If the temperature rises further, the output level falls to low power and the center lamp, which indicates mid power, also begins to flash. If operation continues, the flash-ready indicator starts to flash slowly and the internal safety function turns the LED light off. When this happens, allow the SB-500 to cool down for a while F and then turn the power on again. The LED light will not automatically return to the same LED light output level it was at before turning off. Functions F-11

Notes on LED light thermal cut-out
High to mid
Mid to low
Off
When the LED light is operating
at high power and the internal
temperature reaches a certain point,
the LED light output level falls to mid
power [
] and the right lamp of the
LED light output level indicator lamps,
which indicates high power, begins to
flash slowly [
]. If the temperature
rises further, the output level falls
to low power and the center lamp,
which indicates mid power, also
begins to flash.
If operation continues, the flash-ready
indicator starts to flash slowly and the
internal safety function turns the LED
light off. When this happens, allow
the SB-500 to cool down for a while
and then turn the power on again.
The LED light will not automatically
return to the same LED light output
level it was at before turning off.
