This Lightweight and Portable 2-Monolight Kit from B&H brings together all the components of a classic two-point light kit and a compact rolling light kit case.

Impact 180Ws Monolight Starter Flash with LED Modeling Light

This Monolight Flash with LED Modeling Light from Impact is a compact, 180 watt-second monolight strobe that has the same features of larger strobes, making it a great starter strobe unit, as well as an addition to existing setups. Offering a variable output range of five f-stops, the monolight has an integrated optical slave for wireless triggering and includes a 3.5mm sync cord for a direct connection to a camera or a wireless triggering system.

Optical Slave
An integrated optical slave allows the SF-ABRL180 to be triggered wirelessly using a camera's flash, or other studio strobe. Multiple strobe units may be used for endless lighting possibilities.
LED Modeling Light
The integrated LED modeling light shows precisely where shadows will fall on the subject. The 4-watt LED array is made up of 60 daylight-balanced LED bulbs, with cool operation that won't be uncomfortable when used for portraiture.
Bowens Mount
The built-in Bowens-style mount makes the SF-ABRL180 compatible with a wide range of reflectors, speed rings, and other light modifiers such as softboxes and beauty dishes.
Replaceable Flash Tube
If the long-life flash tube wears out or becomes damaged, it may be replaced by the user in just minutes, minimizing downtime. Simple instructions are included in the user manual.
Audible Recycle Alert
The audible recycle alert indicates when the strobe has fully charged and is ready to be fired again. The alter may be disable with the touch of a button.

Impact PowerTrigger 16 Channel AC Transmitter and Receiver Set

The PowerTrigger 16 Channel AC Transmitter and Receiver Set from Impact contains everything you'll need to wirelessly trigger your studio AC flash units at distances up to 75'. The set includes a 16 channel transmitter and receiver as well as a 2.5mm sub-mini to PC cable, a 3.5mm to 1/4" monoplug adapter and a pre-installed battery for the transmitter.

The low-profile 1.2 x 1.6 x 2.8" PowerTrigger transmitter has a hot shoe for your camera, a test button, and 16 separate channels operating on the 433 MHz frequency to prevent interference from other devices. Channels are chosen on both the transmitter and receiver by configuring 4 DIP switches in 1 of 16 permutations on both the transmitter or receiver for wireless triggering from up to 75' away with flash sync speeds of up to 1/200 second. The transmitter runs on a pre-installed, 23A battery that can last up to 2 years with normal use.

Unlike the transmitter, the PowerTrigger receiver doesn't use batteries and is instead powered by the same AC cord that's used for your monolight. Think of it as an in-line receiver. Simply plug the end of the power cord into the receiver then plug the receiver's power cord into the head's power outlet. Finally, plug the PowerTrigger's attached 3.5mm sync cable into the flash. A 1/4" mono plug adapter is provided if the head doesn't have 3.5mm input. If you don't know what your flash head's sync voltage is, or if you're using an older unit you might want to purchase a Wein Safe-Sync adapter (MFR# 990-510) to insure that the sync voltage remains under 6V. The Safe Sync's monoplug attachment can be easily adapted to 3.5mm if necessary.

Flash Sync Speed of up to 1/200 Sec.

Savage Umbrella Softbox (36")

Avoid unwanted light spill with the 36" Umbrella Softbox from Savage which takes the "shoot through" umbrella idea and runs with it. Like a shoot through set up you point the convex side of the umbrella toward your subject and pump your light through it. This umbrella softbox features a shower cap-type light blocker that defeats spill and directs the light forward. Additionally, the Umbrella Softbox sets up and breaks down in seconds.

Impact LS-RL7 7.2' Reverse Legs Light Stand

This Impact LS-RL7 7.2' Reverse Legs Light Stand is a lightweight support that's ideal for location work or in the studio for use with a small lights or to hold reflectors. This is one of the few stands to be able to sit completely flush to the floor where they can be taped down or sandbagged to stabilize its load. The LS-RL7's unique design allows the legs to fold up around the central risers somewhat like an inverted umbrella. The result is a 7.2' light stand that breaks down to only 19.5" - short enough to fit in even the smallest light kit bags. The stand is topped with a 5/8" mounting stud with 3/8" threads, a 3/8" 1/4"-20 adapter, and weighs just 2.6 lb.

Impact Light Kit Roller Bag #1 (Small, Black)

This small LKB-R1-V3 Light Kit Roller Bag #1 from Impact provides a safe and easy way to transport lights and other gear to and from locations. Roomy enough to accommodate up to three strobe or LED monolights with 7" reflectors or battery strobe systems, it has a solid, rigid unibody and will maintain its shape whether you're rolling it on its casters or carrying it with the hand straps. The durable weather-resistant nylon shell prevents moisture, dust, or debris from reaching your gear.

The bag has a padded compartment with three padded and adjustable dividers so you can configure the interior to hold lights and other equipment for easy transport. A padded removable interior lid sits on top of the dividers and creates extra storage space for stands and umbrellas up to 28" long. This lid has a large, zippered mesh pocket that stores cables, accessories, or personal items.

Protection from the Elements
When the weather isn't cooperating, the durable weather-resistant 600D nylon exterior protects your contents from moisture, dust, dirt, and debris. For added protection the underside of the bag has two long rubber skid plates.
Bright Yellow Interior Lining
Bright yellow interior fabric lining and dividers make it easy to locate gear under low light.
Adjustable Dividers
Three padded adjustable dividers cushion and protect your gear. Each divider is attached to the interior lining with heavy-duty touch-fastener strips. Whether the bag is laying flat or standing upright, your lights and equipment are held securely in place.
Inner Lid Panel
The padded inner lid is secured with touch fasteners and sits on top of the dividers to create a storage compartment for stands, umbrellas, boom arms, and other long gear.
Heavy-Duty Casters
The built-in casters easily glide on most surfaces and absorb the vibrations from rough floor or pavement, making transport easy. The case can be stood upright thanks to the two rubber feet located opposite the casters on the bottom of the bag.
Large Inner Pocket
A large zippered inner pocket is ideal for securing and organizing cables, microphones, and other small accessories.
Carrying Options
Use the sturdy folding plastic top grip handle to pull the bag on its casters. The twin carry straps are handy for lifting the bag in and out of vans or car trunks.
Dual Zipper Closure
The heavy-duty zippered closure extends over three quarters of the case, and the top folds back for quick and unobstructed access to your gear. The two zippers fit together to accommodate a user-supplied padlock for extra security.
Business Card/ID Pocket
A built-in business card/ID pocket is located on top of the bag.

Is this strictly 110v only or can this be used in Europe as well (220v)?
Asked by: Levan
The Impact 180Ws Monolight Starter Flash listed above is designed for use on 110 VAC / 60 Hz AC power outlets. It is not designed for use on 220/240V AC power outlets and is not a multi-voltage light fixture. If you are looking for a multi-voltage monolight, the Raya SDR-400 Alpha Monolight, B&H # RASDR400, or the Jinbei DM-3 300Ws Portable Studio Monolight, B&H # JI101011306, would be compatible for use on 220/240V AC power outlets.

How would I connect these lights to a Nikon Z? Also, could they fire from the Nikon flash I have? I am trying to find options.
Asked by: Francesca B
OR you may fire using your on-camera Nikon flash as a trigger (set to a lower power), and the Optical Receiver Built-In (slave) on the Monolight would flash in sync with the firing of the camera/flash. OR you could use a hot-shoe pc sync adapter, then fire via wired method. https://www.nikonusa.com/p/as-15-sync-terminal-adapter-%28hot-shoe-to-pc%29/3066/overview#compatible-with

How does it synch to a camera? Will it synch to other flashes such as Yongnuo?
Asked by: James
If you have a DSLR with no PC connection, buy an adapter that goes into your hot shoe with a PC terminal and use the sync cord that comes with the unit. Also, you can use the mono-light as a slave that's triggered from another flash going off.
