Rigel 400 Battery Strobe

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
- Statutory 24-month warranty; spare parts available
- 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 us 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 card states the manufacturer's photometric and colour data — CRI, TLCI and output figures you can plan a lighting plot around.
