Phoxene is a French company, formerly known as Lumix specialising in xenon flash technology, with a history dating back to 1988. Its photographic range includes replacement flash tubes and protective glass domes compatible with selected Profoto, Broncolor and other studio lighting equipment.

With decades of experience in flash technology, the company offers an extensive range of compatible replacement components for professional studio lighting.

Can't find your flash head listed? AJ's Photo Video can help you explore the available Phoxene options and identify a suitable replacement for your equipment.

This is a Phoxene third-party replacement, designed for the equipment listed on this page. It is not an original Profoto or Broncolor part.

Phoxene is independent of these equipment manufacturers, which do not endorse its products. Brand names are used to identify compatibility. A link to the corresponding original manufacturer’s part is provided above.

Colour temperature depends on the flash tube and the protective glass dome or plate used with it. Choosing the correct clear or colour-corrected version is therefore important.

An exact match with your existing lights cannot be guaranteed, particularly where older tubes have seen considerable use. For colour-critical photography, check the lights together after replacement and update your white balance or colour profile as appropriate.

If you are unsure which version you need, send AJ’s photographs of your flash head’s model label, existing tube and dome. We can help identify the appropriate replacement combination.

 A flash tube can deteriorate with use. Possible signs include:

• Reduced light output under otherwise unchanged conditions.
• Noticeable changes in colour.
• Inconsistent exposure or colour at the same settings, despite allowing full recycling.
• Repeated misfires or failure to flash.
• Cracked or broken tube glass.

Darkening or marks can develop with use, but appearance alone does not establish that a tube needs replacing.

Misfires and failure to fire can also result from trigger settings, radio interference, sync connections, insufficient recycling time, overheating protection, power problems or internal electronic faults.

Check your equipment’s troubleshooting guidance before ordering. Contact AJ’s if you need help identifying the correct replacement or deciding whether servicing is required.

If you experience a problem with a Phoxene tube or dome purchased from AJ’s, contact us with your order number, equipment model and a description of the fault. We will help check compatibility and arrange assessment with Phoxene where necessary. Any warranty against manufacturing defects is separate from Phoxene’s conditional 30-day satisfaction programme. That programme requires, amongst other conditions, that the item remains functional, unbroken and without traces of use; it is not an unrestricted refund for any fault or problem.

Please contact AJ’s before purchase to confirm whether the programme applies to your order and what defect cover is available. Phoxene replacements are not covered by Profoto or Broncolor’s manufacturer warranties. Equipment manufacturers may also exclude faults or damage caused by third-party parts. If your equipment is still under warranty, check its terms before fitting a compatible replacement. Contact us before returning an item so we can explain the appropriate next steps. Your applicable statutory rights are unaffected.
