Product Description
This strobe is typically used for background, fill, or highlighting. These are very high quality professional strobes that will give you years of service.
This is a strobe, not a continuous light. Because of the way a strobe bursts a huge amount of energy in a very short period of time, the strobe will not generate any lasting heat. This is much easier for your models/subjects. Also, strobes produce daylight-type color temperatures (5600K), so you do not need special films or filters.
They are perfect for commercial studios, location photographers and advanced amateurs. You can use this strobe for a main light, fill light, back light, or hair light. With the variable power setting you will have complete control over your light output.
- Professional-grade studio lighting
- Great background lighting
- 180 watts of power
- Not continuous light
- Does not generate lasting heat

180W Flash Strobe:
This is a strobe, not a continuous light. Because of the way a strobe bursts a huge amount of energy in a very short period of time, the strobe will not generate any lasting heat. This is much easier for your models/subjects. Also, strobes produce daylight-type color temperatures (5600K), so you do not need special films or filters. They are perfect for commercial studios, location photographers and advanced amateurs. You can use this strobe for a main light, fill light, back light, or hair light. With the variable power setting you will have complete control over your light output.
Black/Silver Umbrella:
33″ (84 cm), Silver/Black Backing Umbrella. Silver umbrellas are used to bounce light onto a subject. They provide softening, with a harder shadow than a regular white umbrella. Light loss is usually ~1.5 f/stop compared to the same light used direct, bare light. The black backing cuts down on stray light.
Wireless Radio 16-Channel Trigger:
Wireless radio 16-channel trigger set in the package which is the best tool for supporting camera-flash synch solution. A transmitter sets on the camera, while the receiver plugging into the flash’s sync socket. By the 16-Channel, it can trigger multi-flash light synchronously.
190cm Aluminum Light Stand:
Lightweight heavy duty aluminum stands that extends to 190cm. We utilized reinforced brace supports, and heavy-duty, riveted joints, to help ensure maximum stability and security. The three reinforced legs spread wide to prevent the stand from getting tipsy. These are top quality heavy duty stands that more than adequately support the strobe units in this kit.
