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.
The BMED Medium sized Battery provides 200 flashes at 200ws with a 48 month pro-rate warranty. It uses two decks of of our no memory NiCd battery cells and is about 2.2 inches tall and weighs just under two and a half pounds.
The XSMF is a High Speed Module that makes the Lumedyne flash system recycle faster. It plugs between the Battery and the rest of the system and creates a faster recycle time at any power setting.
This doesn't help the Lumedyne system get brighter but does help it recycle much faster from Battery power or the current AC Power options.
AFSQ 2400ws Quartz Flashtubes fit all of the standard Flash Heads such as the Classic #001 and #002 Heads that had no modeling light feature. They also fit the new Extra Small Basic Heads HSBC or HSBQ.
This is a super duty flashtube for high power or Action Packs' fast flash duration.
The Flashtubes push/pull straight in/out and they will last for tens of thousands of flashes or one face down fall onto a hard surface.
Any of the Heads that have a modeling light would use the AFTE instead of this one.
AFTQ 2400ws Quartz Flashtubes fit all of the existing Lumedyne Flash Heads with or without the modeling light feature. They also fit in the new Extra Small Heads. They can be used at low power as well and can be used up to 2,400ws as that is the upper rating of this flashtube's performance.
The Flashtubes push/pull straight in/out and they will last for tens of thousands of flashes or one face down fall onto a hard surface.
Any of the Heads can use this flashtube, however, the modeling lamp itself is separate and this flashtube does not convert a non-modeling Head to have that feature.
The Extra Small Modeling Head is the smallest and least expensive Flash Head with a modeling light. It has high quality circuits and the same modeling flashtubes and modeling bulb, just in a smaller molded enclosure. The HSML is electronically the same as the larger heads except for the lack of the household sync connector.
This is an awesome Head for on a camera bracket or boom arm since it is so small and lightweight. If you wanted to use it on a light stand, it has twin 1/4-20 mounts for the stand and an accessory of your choice.
This Head includes a grid and diffusor set with the reflector, a Modeling Bulb (AMBR) and 800ws Modeling Flashtube (AFTE).
The X2DL Deluxe Booster goes between the Battery and most Lumedyne Power Packs to add 200ws of additional power to the Pack above it or add another Head jack that can be powered at 100ws or 200ws regardless of what the Pack is set at. This allows for a wide variety of asymmetrical power options. It has a switch for the Head jack power selection or to send the extra Boost power up to the Pack above it.
It is only about three inches tall weighs about two pounds and can add an f-stop to the 200ws Packs since it doubles the available power. The second Head jack syncs together with the rest of the system.
This is the only automatic Lumedyne Charger that will charge the battery first and also cycle on automatically each day to top off the Battery (or Batteries with the CU4A Adapter). This way the connected Battery(ies) are always ready to go without having to "top them off" before a shoot.
This is an Ultra fast charger and stops charging based on a Delta Voltage technology rather than using the PEPI circuit in the battery. This Charger is compatible with all generations of NiCd and NiMh Batteries and is designed to keep the Lumedyne Batteries fresh and ready for the longest possible lifespan.
DO NOT USE WITH LIFEPO4 BATTERIES or DIY Batteries - while it should not release the "magic" smoke, it would not work correctly for sure...
The Quad Hyper Chargers are Hyper fast, international, charge one to four batteries at once (at full speed) and have a seven light battery gauge to see the power level of your batteries. They also have damage protection, bad battery indications and use UL/CE power supplies internally. They use interchangeable standard power supply cables and you pick which country's cable you want to start with: USA, UK, EU, AU.
Fast and powerful, these Chargers show you the condition of your batteries so you can better evaluate when there is a problem other than having trouble with your battery during a shoot.
Hyper Chargers are intended only for modern Batteries build or modified since 2002 with the new PEPI. The Battery should have a serial number higher than 149300.
This mega fast high voltage Cycler attaches onto any of the Lumedyne Batteries which are sold separately. Photographers who need a lot of flashes per charge with faster recycling than any other brand, plus they may want bigger batteries than what are built inside the single piece Cyclers will prefer these even though they are slightly larger, they do offer two HV output jacks so they can run two flashes even without needing a Y cable. These have a Low Battery Warning but no battery gauge. They indicate when they are recycling.
