Photogenic PLR2500DRC Reviews

Love these lights!

By AniMotion Photography
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2014-12-29

I have 3 of the photogenic PLR2500DRC 1000W/S lights. I have used them indoor and out they have worked flawlessly for me over the last year. Easy to use built like tanks. The only knit picky thing I would complain about is the the flash tube cover can become unlocked and slip off easily. On operational problems at all.

See any errors on this page?

question

Battery power
Asked by: narek
The Photogenic PLR2500DRC 1,000W/s PowerLight Monolight is not designed for use with battery power. It is an AC-powered unit that comes with a standard household AC power cord to power the unit. If you are looking for a power inverter that may be used with the included AC power cord for location usage, the Photogenic Ion Lithium-ion Pure Sine Wave Inverter System, B&H # PHION, would work for your usage needs.
