Product information
The 300 Ws mono flash head produces at least as much light during its very short flash exposure as 300 watts of continuous lighting would produce during a 1 second exposure. Fitted with the standard reflector (not included) it produces a guide number of 162 (equivalent to f/16.2 @ 10’ at 100 ISO) which is ideal for portrait, glamour, fashion, event and many types of Edit Product photography.
But good studio lights produce far more than just power. The power needs to be capable of fine control, and the flash head needs to accept a wide range of light shaping tools and modifiers, as well as to produce clean, consistent light quality at all power settings.
Another, very important factor is flash duration, because fast flash duration not only freezes movement but also produces very consistent colour temperature. The flash duration of the ElitePro 300 is a staggering 1/2000th second (t-05), far faster than any similar Edit Product on the market!
It also has stepless adjustment over a 5-stop range, allowing a wide choice of aperture settings, it has extremely accurate power consistency and colour temperature consistency, full power recycling of only 1 second and it accepts all of the vast range of light shaping tools and modifiers produced in the very popular Bowens ‘S’ fitting.
The flash tube is extremely unlikely to fail, but it's good to know that all Lencarta flashtubes are available at very reasonable prices and are user changeable.
