How to use
Before installing the new flashtube, ensure that the flash unit is completely powered off and disconnected from the power source. Allow the unit to cool down for several minutes to prevent burns. Carefully remove the protective glass dome if present, and gently pull the old flashtube out of its sockets. Align the pins of the new 125 J flashtube with the corresponding sockets on the flash head and press firmly but gently until it is securely seated. Avoid touching the glass surface of the new tube with bare fingers, as oils from your skin can cause hot spots and reduce the lifespan of the tube; using a clean cloth or gloves is recommended.

Usage recommendations
To maximize the lifespan of your flashtube, avoid frequent high-power flashes in rapid succession and ensure the flash unit has adequate ventilation during operation. Always handle the tube with clean, dry hands or gloves to maintain surface integrity.
