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.
These strobes are built the way rental houses wish all flash was: 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.

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?
Colour stability across the power range is stated in the manufacturer's specification — typically within ±150 K. Check the listing for the exact figure for each model.
