Product highlights and buying context
The heart of the Photogenic 1,000W/s Solair Digital Travel Kit with PocketWizard (120V) is the 500W/s Solair Monolight. Building on the foundation of the popular PowerLight PL1250DRC, the Solair has an 8 stop extended power range selectable in 1/2 or 1/10 stop increments with repeat flash accuracy within 1/20 of a stop and all of the information displayed on the large LED screen. The bright 250W modeling lamp can be set to full on/off, user preference or proportionate to the flash power.
What distinguishes the Solair however, is Constant Color Technology. It's quite common for other brands' color temperature to vary wildly when dropping from full to minimum power. The Solair varies a mere 100K from full to 1/128 power; indiscernible to most people.
Another unique feature is the Flash Auto Bracketing function. Under and over power settings can be programmed into the flash head in 1/10 - 1 ½ f/stop increments around the prime or normal exposure. As an alternative to hard-wired sync, trigger your PowerLights wirelessly at distances up to 1,600' via the built-in 32 channel PocketWizard receiver. (Requires purchase of PocketWizard Transceiver) This kit has everything you need to get started in the studio or on location. It includes two 500W/s Solairs, 8.0' light stands, a 24 x 32" softbox, 45" umbrella and umbrella reflector, cables, flash tubes and a rolling case to transport it all.
The Photogenic PLR500DRC Radio Solair 500W/s Monolight with PocketWizard Receiver offers speed, power and control, a wide choice of accessories and intuitive operation backed by impressive specs at a very reasonable price.
The PLR500DRC 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 an impressive 8 full stops. The bright 250W modeling light can be set to Proportional to let you previsualize your final shot when using multiple lights. Other settings include Full On, OFF and manual control of the modeling light output. The PLR500DRC Radio Solair even allows 2 or 3 shot bracketing around your prime exposure.
The PLR1000DRC recycles to full power in a lightning-fast 1.5 seconds at full power and 0.5 seconds at minimum power with short flash durations that help you stop every gesture, an attribute which is extremely valuable when working with kinetic subjects like dancers or athletes.
Convenience features include a test button, optical slave and integral handle. A PocketWizard radio remote is built into that handle so that you can say goodbye to tripping over PC cords in favor of wireless triggering of your PowerLight from distances up to 1,600'. The UV color corrected flash tube ensures that blue doesn't creep into your color balance on subjects like a bride in her gown. It also ensures natural, flattering skin tones. The PLR500DRC comes with a 7.5" reflector and is compatible with a wide range of optional accessories including grids, snoots, parabolic reflectors, softboxes and umbrellas.
Power levels are displayed in easy-to-read LED digits allowing settings from 3.9W/s to 500W/s in 1/10 or 1/2 stop increments
