Photogenic C4-15C Flashtube

The standard, clear, UV Coated flashtube for the Photogenic PL2 Series monolights.

Most current, professional flash heads and monolights are equipped with user replaceable flashtubes that may simply be plugged into, and unplugged from their sockets. With proper handling, these flashtubes may last for tens of thousands of flashes under normal use.

This flashtube is UV-Coated, or UV-Corrected. UV flashtubes have a yellow appearance, and they counteract the excess blue 5700° or higher output of non-UV coated flashtubes. UV Coating lowers the color temperature to 5500°, which is the color of noon daylight on a clear day.

The boxes arrived in tact but one of the bulbs was broken on the inside . These lights work for years and are a great purchase.

Best head for the money

I use this product for just about everything studio related, I also take it out on my youth league picture days and it provides just the right amount of fill for my team & individual images. Been using this light head for nearly 15 years now, other than replacing the flash tube I have not experienced any technical issues whatsoever with this light.

See any errors on this page?

question

Can the power be adjusted remotely? If so, how? Thanks!
Asked by: Kimberli D.
I am using this with a Godox XPro transmitter on my camera. This allows me to control the SK400II flash power and modeling lamp wirelessly.

question

Can flash duration be adjusted?
Asked by: Simcha W.
Not directly, no. But for most flash units the brightness of the flash over a set amount of time doesn't change. What does change is the length of the light burst. So shooting at full power uses the longest burst, and at half power it will be half as long. I don't have the manuals in front of me (but they are online at the Photogenic website). I'm pretty sure they give the length of flash durations at various settings.... or at least an estimate.
