Impact SF-ABRL160 Overview

The Impact SF-ABRL160 Stand Mount Flash with LED Modeling Light is a lightweight monolight with straightforward features that make it ideal for most applications. The 160 watt second strobe features a bright LED modeling lamp that, unlike its quartz counterparts, is virtually maintenance-free. And instead of lasting 100 hours, the LED typically lasts approximately 25,000 hours.

The SF-ABRL160 has a built-in optical slave for wireless triggering, a sync cord for direct firing from your camera, a built-in umbrella receptacle, and a 5/8" standard stand mount. It accepts Impact's 50 x 50 cm (FF-SB50) and 50 x 70 cm (FF-SB70) Softboxes without a speed ring thanks to the head's built-in flex rod holes. An easy-to-mount barndoor set with filters, filter frame, and a honeycomb grid (SF-BDK) are available as optional accessories, as is a snoot (SF-SNT) with its own removable grid. Selectable flash output is full and 1/2 power.

Impact SF-ABRL160 Reviews

Solid versatile little strobe

By Breanna
Rated 5 out of 5
Date: 2025-04-21

I have purchased many of these little strobes for different applications. The strobes have been quite dependable and durable. I think it's one of the least expensive options. That gives you bang for your buck.

cute but slow sync.

Decent build quality for the price. Output adequate. Bought it for background fill. Only issue is: the slave only syncs at 1/4 second and slower.

The camera should be set to manual exposure mode and the sync cord/adapter connection should be checked to make sure they are secure.
