  • I will try this.I am sure that they are the same (BW2030 i think).I need a special star/hex screwdriver (with hole for nipple) to take them off.Will report back with what happens.
  • I have 4 Bowens lights, 2x 250 and 2x 500w (if memory servies me).One of the lights has an intermittant fault in that it wont flash but gives a long beeping sound (about 1 seconds or so).Anybody...
