No. This strobe is equipped with a thermal protection system designed to protect the internal circuitry.
If the internal temperature becomes too high, the system will temporarily limit operation until the unit cools down. The HEAT WARNING indicator shows that this protection system is active.
This may occur when the strobe fires repeatedly at or near full power in a short period.
■To help prevent this:
1) Reduce the strobe output
2) Increase the interval between flashes
3) Avoid long bursts of full-power firing
