Meteora 400 Monolight
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
The Meteora 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
- Recycle times measured at mains voltage, honest at burst frame twenty
- S-type accessory mount machined in steel
- Nine-stop power range in tenth-stop steps
- Temperature-governed fan with a printed noise figure
- Aluminium housing; every board potted against vibration
- Modelling LED tracks flash output proportionally

Care
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.
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.
The ELVARNIXO Promise
Every ELVARNIXO fixture ships with its own photometric and colour report — CRI, TLCI and SSI measured on our Prague bench for that serial number, not copied from a brochure.
