The first topic I started!
It is about the heat created just in front of the speed light.
Tonight, while testing my 600EX with ST-E3, I laid down the flash head on a seat so the light produced will not disturb the guests at the wedding party. A second similar test using my black pants to shield the light cause a burning sensation on my leg. I looked at my pants and found a burnt mark where the flash head laid. I went back to the seat and found another burnt mark!
Please be aware that the flash produces enough heat to burn fabrics.
