That's a real possibiliity, but the T45 is a pretty heavy-duty strobe and I
don't think six sequential flashes will do any harm. I did use the ultra
precise scientific measurement of the back of the hand against the face of
the strobe and it was only just warm. It's not something I plan to do on a
regular basis, but it is sorta fun. Besides, it amazes the equipmentally
challenged.
