4.2 Inserting the Flash Tube
Match the red dot on the base of the flash tube with the red dot in the
socket of Qflash. Push the flash tube in until it is seated snugly into the
socket. Excessive force is not required.
Replace the flash tube only with Quantum type QF30 or QF30uv for
Qflash model T5d / T5d-R. Other flash tubes will not provide proper
exposure, may not work at all, or they may damage the Qflash.

4.3 Reflectors and Bare Bulb
Reflectors are secured by the locking
ring near the base of the reflector.
Rotate the ring in the directions
shown in the diagram to loosen or
tighten the reflectors.
When inserting a reflector, first slowly
rotate it until the notch in the reflector
“drops” fully into head of the Qflash.
Then tighten the locking ring. If you
do not let the reflector drop fully into
the Qflash before locking it, the
reflector may become loose during
use.
