The Safari Li-on is a tough yet elegant portable powerpack with two outlets. This kit includes the generator and ringflash head. If required, a Safari Li-on standard flash head (not included) can be plugged into the other socket.
We have some videos available that may help.
This video is on the powerpack controls and performance

- Controls: All of the controls for the flash heads are included on the generator itself.
- Outlets: The generator has 2 outlets, allowing either 1 or 2 flash heads to be fitted to it. If 1 flash head is fitted to socket A, the maximum power is 600 Ws and the power can be reduced to 25 Ws. The full power setting is enough to overpower the sun in most lighting situations. The power range from socket B is from 200 - 12.5Ws, so the ringflash can be plugged into socket B for ultra fast recycling or for when you wish to use a large aperture
- Power adjustment: Flash output is adjustable from full power down to 1/16th, via digital adjustment dial.
- Setting the power: The power setting is shown on the LED display, which also shows the length of time that you have set for the modelling lamp to be on (up to 99 seconds).
- Battery: Although the lithium battery is lightweight and tiny, it has an enormous capacity and provides 400 flashes at full power (many more at lower power settings). It makes no difference whether one or two flash heads are fitted.
- Consistency: The flash performance is amazing – the flash energy consistency varies no more than 1/10th of a stop at any power setting, and the colour temperature is extremely consistent too, varying flash to flash by no more than 10K (10 degrees on the Kelvin scale)! The colour temperature is 5600 at full power and reduces by only 340K at minimum power.
- Recycling time: The recycling time is extremely fast, there are two settings, normal and fast. Using the normal setting drains the battery less quickly, so this setting should be used when possible. At normal recycling setting, it recycles in just one second at minimum power and 3.75 seconds at full power. When you switch to fast recycling those times become an incredible 0.384 seconds at minimum power and 2.9 seconds at full power.
- Outlet sockets: Two lamp sockets with an asymmetric 1:2 power ratio.
