Rigel 400 Battery Strobe
Tax included where applicable. Delivery, rigging and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
ELVARNIXO Strobes — daylight, on demand
The Rigel carries the studio wherever the light is wrong: full-power flashes counted honestly, HSS to 1/8000, and batteries that swap faster than clouds change their mind.
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
- Temperature-governed fan with a printed noise figure
- Two years parts and labour; parts stocked for fifteen
- Full-power flashes per charge stated with modelling-light duty
- Recycle times measured at mains voltage, honest at burst frame twenty
- IGBT control with t0.1 flash durations stated per power step
- Swap batteries mid-shoot in seconds — packs charge in the case

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.
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.
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.
