I guess the first question (before you damage your camera) is do you now what the trigger voltage is? Nikon DSLR’s use trigger voltages of 12v. Canon DSLR’s use trigger voltages of 6v.

Higher trigger voltage can fry digital cameras electronics and those incidents are covered by warranties.

Now a second question; do you have a link to your strobe? I could not find it in the Internet.

In order to get proper exposures using flash units, you have to know the guide number of the flash or use the guide attached to the back of the flash.

You can make some adjustments to manually correct your problem.

Two things you can do. Since your images are blown-out, stop the lens all the way down to f/22 and put your subject out at 10 feet and make your first exposure. If it is still overexposed, then move back until you are 20 feet away and shoot again. This should darken the image a lot. Then start shooting images opening the aperture at half-stop increments until you get your perfect exposure.

Or you can buy a new flash unit is designed for digital cameras, has a trigger voltage of 12v and automatically adjusts the exposure for distances and f/stops you choose.

I use (and love) my Nikon CLS. I have a SB 800 and 600. I never get the opportunity to shoot in a studio, so all of my shoots are on-site. With my two SB’s I don’t have to worry about cables, battery packs (although that would decrease my recycle time), or hiring a sherpa to tote all my gear around. I also don’t have to shell out a few hundred dollars for Pocket Wizards (a purchase I’m saving for later). It’s also nice to be able to dial the lights’ power up or down with my camera. As for “fixed” lighting, I assume you mean continuous? The only downside to continuous lighting is that they get really hot, so you couldn’t use soft boxes or any other equipment that might burn or melt.
