Remember the Essentials
A stand is required but not included with this light. Please be sure to purchase a stand to mount this light on.
You might be surprised at how many photo assignments you can handle with a compact, lightweight monolight like the Impact Digital Monolight 400W/s (120VAC). It's got 400w/s of power in an easily transportable package, and light output that can be varied in 1/10 stop stages over a 4-stop range, accessible through the digital readout. The 100W modeling light can be coupled to the flash, getting brighter or dimmer to match the actual light output, or independently set to the level you want. The monolight accepts Bowens monolight reflectors and head accessories. It also has a limited Auto Dump function, firing the strobe when you reset to a different power level (so the strobe is automatically set to the correct setting for the next flash). A built-in optical slave allows the monolight to be triggered using another flash. Perfect for portraits, small still-lifes, and much more.
- Power is variable over a 4-stop range
- Digital readout coupled with the power variator
- Accepts Bowens monolight reflectors and head accessories
- Power is adjustable in 1/10 stop increments, from full to 1/8 power
- Model light intensity may be coupled to, or independent from, the flash output levels
- Limited Auto Dump feature automatically fires the strobe when you reset to a lower power level
- Built-in optical slave "sees" the light from other flashes, and fires monolight automatically

After reading reviews on this site about the 400w Impact kit with 2 softboxes, I felt very comfortable ordering even though I had really not heard much about this manufacturer before. I couldn't be happier right now. I have about 2000 cycles on them in just the first week and they are performing perfectly.
Lighting is very controllable and even, recycle time is fast, and the build quality is outstanding for the price. I would highly suggest this to anyone looking to build their first studio or even putting together a portable kit for on-site shoots since the kit has a bag.

Not bad at all for the price I paid for. Definitely comes in handy in group situations, gives lots of good lighting when needed, and the beeping can be turned off. The only thing is, it doesn't keep the settings so everytime you need to use it you need to reset it to no sound.

This is an easy to use light that has a great output. I took it out of the box and was ready to use it right away. Great for new photographers still learning. It is a very affordable product. Just make sure you secure the light down while on the stand so it doesn't tip over.
