Sep 2, 2016 at 16:45 comment added Alan Marcus The Guide Number intertwines the brightness of flash as it relates to distance. These multipliers apply to both Guide Number adjustments and lamp-to-subject distance. They are worthy to use for lamp distance adjustments to establish the lighting ratio provided the lamps are identical. The same multipliers operate with Guide Numbers for exposure compensation. Caution Guide Numbers are just guides based on specific environs like size of room, ceiling height and reflectivity of surroundings
