Key Features

  • 120V

  • Proportional Modeling Light
The Photogenic PL2500DRC 1,000W/s PowerLight Monolight (UV) offers speed, power and control, a wide choice of accessories and intuitive operation backed by impressive specs at a very reasonable price.

What good is a light if it keeps you in the dark? The PL2500DRC keeps you fully informed of your power levels via its large highly readable digital display. Power settings are adjustable in 1/10 or 1/2 stop increments across 6 stops. The bright 250W modeling light can be set to Proportional to let you previsualize your final shot when using multiple lights. Other settings include Full On, OFF and manual control of the modeling light output.

The PL2500DRC recycles to full power in a fast 3.0 seconds with short flash durations at minimum power that help you stop every gesture, an attribute which is extremely valuable when working with kinetic subjects like dancers or athletes. The color corrected flash tube prevents blue hues from creeping into the color balance on subjects like a bride in her wedding dress. The tube also insures a flattering skin tone rendition.

Convenience features include a test button, optical slave and integral handle. The PL2500DRC comes with a 7.5" reflector and is compatible with a wide range of optional accessories including grids, snoots, parabolic reflectors, softboxes and umbrellas.

Does tungsten halogen 1000W bulb with G9.5 body fit to PowerLight?
Asked by: Pavel
No, the Photogenic PL2500DRC 1,000W/s PowerLight Monolight (UV) is not compatible with a tungsten halogen 1000W bulb. This light has a flash tube and it's a bi-pin connector. Both the flash tube and the modeling lamps have proprietary sockets.

Asked by: Blanca
Its a 1,000ws light so its on the powerful side for newborns. You would most likely have it turned down a fair bit. Its doable but it might be overkill.
