Offering a guide number of 157.5' at ISO 100, the C-250 Studio Strobe from Neewer is an AC-powered 250W monolight well-suited for indoor shoots. It has a 4-stop power range from full power to 1/8, which changes flash duration from 1/800 to 1/2000 seconds and can be gradually adjusted with a dimming knob in the back. And thanks to a color temperature range of 5400 (±200K), this light can be mixed with other daylight-balanced sources without creating a strong color cast.
A key feature of this strobe is its various slave modes, with three triggering options available: a wired connection with the included sync cord, with an optional infrared remote, or as an optical slave thanks to the light sensor at the top. This means you can sync the unit with your camera or another flash for simultaneous firing. Another useful inclusion is an adjustable 75W modelling light, allowing you to preview your composition with a continuous light source. Finally, a hole in the front offers space for an optional umbrella. The C-250 runs on 110-130 VAC power, reaching recycling times between 0.5 and 2 seconds depending on your power settings.
