Product description The Photogenic 1,500W/s PowerLight 4 Light Studio Kit (120V) is a great way to achieve studio-quality lighting in-house or on location. The kit is built around the powerful, dependable PowerLight. Four heads are provided: two 500W/s heads and two 250W/s PowerLights. They're capable of fast recycling (1.5 and 1.25 sec. respectively) at full power as well as fast flash duration which is ideal for capturing every fleeting gesture with subjects in motion like athletes or dancers. Of course they're great for product work or portraiture as well and Photogenic has you covered on both counts. Included in the kit are 2 softboxes; 24 x 32" and 12 x 36". The first is an ideal source for head and shoulders portraits and the 12 x 36" box is an excellent sidelight or product light which yields long elegant highlights on reflective objects. There's also a 45" umbrella to use as a fill light for 3-point lighting. Two 8.0' light stands are provided as well as 1 heavy duty 13' stand which is perfect for the included boom arm with counterweight. Use the scoop-type backlight reflector on one of your PowerLights to create sophisticated effects behind your subject. It all fits in a soft-sided wheeled carrying case. - PL1250DRC 500W/s PowerLight Monolight (UV) The Photogenic 1250DRC 500W/s PowerLight Monolight (UV) offers speed, power and control, a wide choice of accessories and intuitive operation backed by impressive specs at a very reasonable price. What good is a light if it keeps you in the dark? The 1250DRC keeps you fully informed of your power levels via its large highly readable digital display. Power settings are adjustable in 1/10 or ½ stop increments across 6 stops. The bright 250W modeling light can be set to Proportional to let you previsualize your final shot when using multiple lights.

The color corrected flash tube prevents blue hues from creeping into the color balance on subjects like a bride in her wedding dress. The tube also insures a flattering skin tone rendition. Convenience features include a test button, optical slave and integral handle.
