Product Information

The Bowen Esprit 1500 is the flagship model offering 3 Esprits in one. Inside the Esprit 1500 are three banks of capacitors, each delivering 500 w/s. An easy-to-use selector switch, with a digital display, allows 1, 2, or 3 of these banks to be combined to deliver maximum outputs of 500, 1000, or 1500 watt/seconds.
Features

• 6.5 F-Stop Power Range

Stepless power outputs from 15 to 1500 w/s -- full to 1/32 power

• Auto Power Dump

  • Allows access to lower power selections without the need to manually dump a higher power first
  • The digital readout provides as indication of the state of power dump by blinking.

    • Fan Cooled

    Fan cooled and vent cooled for increased protection under the most demanding applications.

    • Flash Selector Switch

    The use of the flash selector switch gives you a choice of flash output selections at different flash durations, whereas use of the stepless variator control provides a reduction of the flash output at a consistent flash duration.

    • Ready Indication

    Switchable audible beep signals when the unit has recycled and is ready to flash

    • Flash Inhibit Circuit

    Prevents firing the unit until it has reached 100% of the selected power level
