Set of 4 Paul C Buff White Lightning Strobe Flash Units, with instructions.
(2) WL 10000
(2) WL 5000
Made in USA
All 4 units are clean, tested, and in working order.
Sale price $85/OBO for all four.
Will consider trades for ammo etc.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION:
The White Lightning WL 10,000 and WL 5,000 units are extremely precise, high power electronic photoflashes. They are designed for professional studio use, and are well-suited for demanding location usage due to their very compact, yet highly durable construction.
The WL 10,000 delivers 250 true wattseconds of energy per flash, and the WL 5,000 delivers 130 true wattseconds of energy per flash. The flash units emit light at a color temperature of approximately 5500o Kelvin, balanced for correct “daylight” exposure. The provided 100 watt modeling lamp is intended for scene preview, focusing and aperture calculations rather than for exposure. It emits light in the color temperature range of 2000o to 2800o K. Since the instantaneous flash intensity is some 4000 times brighter than the modeling lamp, the color temperature difference between the modeling lamp and the flashtube is of no consequence to the color balance on the exposed film.
The WL 5,000 and 10,000 units are designed to be used singularly, in multiple unit setups, or in conjunction with battery operated camera flash units. Provisions have been made to mount umbrellas and other accessories commonly used in the professional photo studio. The units are designed to be mounted on standard studio light stands or boom assemblies.
