Comet CBM-1200 Overview

The Comet CBm-1200 battery operated professional 1200 watt/second strobe power supply is for the photographer who works on location, and in the studio. It is small and lightweight, has short flash duration for stopping action, quick recycling time, constant color temperature pop after pop, and a wide power range.

This power pack can supply each of 2 Comet heads (available separately) with power symmetrically, or asymmetrically. It will power 2- 300 watt modeling lights for 8 seconds at a time, during use. The CBm comes with one NiMH battery; a second battery may be purchased to shorten recycle time, and increase the number of pops per charge. The included charger is multi-voltage.

This pack accepts any Comet CB or CX Flash Head.
Asymmetrical Power Distribution
Switch between equal distribution (600-600 w/s) of power, to asymmetrical (800-400 w/s), when powering 2 heads.
