ComPact Plus and Acute 2 modeling lamp

The Profoto 500 W 230 V modeling lamp is a direct replacement for ComPact Plus and Acute 2 flash heads. It supplies a 500 W, 230 V light source that lets photographers preview flash output before shooting. Studios and on-location professionals use it to judge shadow placement and contrast ratios with the same colour quality as the final exposure.

Simple twist-in installation

The lamp seats in the head's bayonet mount with a quarter turn; no tools are required. Handle the quartz envelope only with clean gloves or a lint-free cloth because skin oils create hot spots that shorten the 2 000-hour rated life. The CC8 filament works in any orientation, so the head can be tilted or hung without risk of filament sag.

2 950 K colour temperature decides fit

This single figure determines whether the lamp matches the colour balance of your flash tubes and other heads on set. If your workflow demands a different Kelvin value, or if the head requires another wattage or voltage, this lamp will not integrate correctly.

Questions about this item

How can I verify the lamp is operating at the correct 2950K color temperature after installation?

The lamp is engineered to maintain a consistent 2950K output; you can confirm accurate color rendering by comparing test shots against a calibrated reference or using a color meter.

Does the package include the ComPact Plus or Acute 2 head, or must they be purchased separately?

This item is the 500-watt 230-volt modeling lamp only; the ComPact Plus and Acute 2 flash heads are sold separately.

Which wattage and voltage version should I choose for my Acute 2 system running on 230 V mains?
