Wonder the same - the little old Elinchrom 11 I picked up the other day for peanuts doesn't kill the modelling lamp. Neither does my Hensel 500, even on one-eighth power.I wonder why you bother to "kill" the modeling light for the shot.......... I find it annoying to work in the studio in the dark.........The 60 watt can't contribute much to the flash exposure (@ 1/30th sec?)..........I think I'd add a single sheet/loop of diffusion (Rosco/Tough) over the front of the combination unit.........to combine the highlights and spread the light a little..... just an opinion doug
