Lumedyne is location lighting and portable professional flash equipment.
We offer Cyclers and the X to power other brands of flashes. And, we have a modular flash system that has a proven track record of being a highly reliable source of light for professional photographers for over 45 years.
To build a full flash system, you wil need a Power Pack, a Flash Head, a Battery and a Charger. Some added cables and accessories might be a great addition and you need to trigger the system with a radio or light slave or a sync cord.
We have photographers on staff to answer your questions, so give us a call and let us help you create your own perfect lighting solution for on location.
This is the high performance replacement bulb for the glowing modeling light in the center of the Lumedyne Modeling style Flashtubes. It is about 25 watts but is almost 50% brighter than a normal Halogen bulb. So for the same drain as our other AMBR bulb this one is a bit brighter. It does also use your battery at a rate of one 200ws flash per 20 seconds of modeling light use.
This AMBX bulb is also more durable against high temperature for extended use or high power flashes or rapid flashes where in all cases more than the normal heat is involved and a normal bulb would frost over white and fail due to overheating.
It is user replaceable by simply first removing the flashtube then pulling the burned out bulb straight out. After carefully replacing the AMBX into the Head's legs, the flashtube fits around it and plugs back into place.
This Charger works at a Quick rate from any AC wall voltage worldwide and includes plug adapters for most of the world. It charges Small Batteries as fast as 3 hours and can charge all sizes of Lumedyne Batteries and Cyclers.
This is the "normal" charger for all batteries because we no longer offer a basic Trickle Charger.
This is not recommended for batteries older than from 2002 with serial number below 149300. If your battery is that old, contact Lumedyne directly. If you paid to update your PEPI in the battery, then it is OK.
The ARWD is a silver five inch reflector and it has a shorter neck than the Standard one. That's why it sets further back from the flashtube and broadcasts a wider angle of coverage. This creates a wider broadcast of light within a one f-stop range with the first setting at a wide 80 degrees.
In the first setting it is about as wide as the wider setting of the normal reflector but then it goes to extra wide 95 degrees coverage when it drops back into its dual notches.
The ASC5 is the long straight sync cord (30 feet is about 9 meters) that would plug from the round sync jack on many professional cameras to the household sync jack on many Lumedyne Flash Heads.
It's perfect as a back up option to radio slaves when you want an off camera light and you have a PC sync connection or adapter on your camera.
The ARST is the normal two position Reflector that we include with most all of our Flash Heads when new. It has a hammer dimple finish on a parabolic shape that is award winning in its design in relationship to the flashtube. When it is sitting in the forward position it is normal coverage and when it drops back into the two notches, it broadcasts a wider angle.
Use the ANEC when you want to make your own reflector or light modifier. This has the right size neck to fit the Lumedyne Heads and other brands too. It even has the notches to guide between the normal and wide angle flashtube positions.
The rear flange portion has four mounting holes to allow you to create a reflector from nearly any surface.
The small ARSG Snoot fits over the Lumedyne flashtubes where the reflector normally mounts and tightens into place like any other reflector. It has a narrow opening for the light to escape at the open end. In addition to this limited field of view, the beam of light can be further limited and controlled with the small grid that fits the end of the snoot.
The Gel Filter Kit is a plastic ring adapter that allows the use of 6 inch square or circular gel filters with any five inch reflector.
The adapter allows you to sandwich in between it's disks, one or more color, diffuser, or neutral density filters to modify the light coming straight out of the reflectors.
The kit includes three common color temperature shifts to make the flash look more like indoor lighting color temperatures; one green one for florescent, one yellow one for incandescent and one darker yellow for halide lamps like at a sports complex.
This small adapter is designed for items that might mount on top of a camera style hot-shoe that you would rather mount on top of your Lumedyne Head.
A Pocket Wizard™ or other brand of radio slave is a good example of what might be mounted in this shoe.
It does not transmit the sync signals all the appropriate sync cords are still used, it's just a solid mounting point.
