Lanterna 800 Monolight
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
The Lanterna 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.
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.
Design & Craft
- Aluminium housing; every board potted against vibration

- User-replaceable flashtube in a machined ceramic mount
- Recycle times measured at mains voltage, honest at burst frame twenty
- IGBT control with t0.1 flash durations stated per power step
- Temperature-governed fan with a printed noise figure

Care
Let fans finish their cool-down before casing; store capacitors formed by powering the unit monthly between jobs. Flashtubes and modelling LEDs are user-replaceable — handle tubes by ceramic, never glass. Annual service includes capacitor health, colour check and firmware.
Questions, Answered
Will it sync with my camera system?
Standard sync, HSS and TTL modules cover the major camera systems; the listing states which. Tell the concierge your bodies and we confirm before dispatch.
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.
