Alba 400 Battery Strobe
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
Location flash is a logistics problem wearing a beauty problem; the Alba solves both — measured colour in a weather-shrugging shell, with runtime numbers you can plan a day around.
Strobe electronics are the quiet half of the craft: IGBT control that cuts flash duration to the ten-thousandth, capacitors rated for heat and years rather than spec-sheet mornings, and colour held within 150 K across the whole power range. Housings are aluminium, not painted plastic; every board is potted against vibration and every unit burn-tested before its serial number is granted.

Blow dust from vents monthly, keep gel frames clean of melt, and form capacitors with a monthly power-up if the unit sits idle. Transport in the fitted case; the electronics forgive roads, not drops. Colour and timing are re-certified at annual service.
Questions, Answered
How fast is the recycle really?
Rated at mains voltage and full power in the specification — measured, with the burst behaviour noted. Battery units state shots per charge at full and half power.
What about flash duration for action and liquids?
t0.1 figures per power step are in the photometric report. Freeze modes trade colour stability for speed and say so honestly.
