Algol 800 Monolight
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
The Algol is the studio's dependable sun: nine stops of IGBT-controlled power, colour that stays put from full to a whisper, and a modelling LED that tells the truth about what will fire.
We build flash the way rental houses wish everyone did: stable colour from full power to the ninth stop down, recycle times that hold at frame twenty of a burst, and user-replaceable flashtubes seated in machined mounts. Fans are temperature-governed and honest about their noise figure, and modelling LEDs track flash output so what you see is what fires.

- Modelling LED tracks flash output proportionally

Questions, Answered
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.
How consistent is the colour across power levels?
Within ±150 K across the full range on our bench, and the exact curve for your serial number ships in the box. Mixed fleets match because every unit is measured, not sampled.
