Lighting gear distinguishes amateur and professional photographers. Artificial lights and accessories offer the ultimate artistic freedom and allow photographers to create any lighting design and composition they desire. Among lighting gear manufacturers, Flashpoint stands out by providing user-friendly interfaces alongside impressive technical characteristics. Their gear suits both beginners and experienced photographers, which is great because the photographer doesn’t have to keep changing the equipment to match their newly acquired skills.
With that in mind, here are the Flashpoint products to consider if you decide to make a photographer’s wish come true this season.
Flashpoint Lights
Flashpoint XPLOR 600PRO II
The XPLOR 600 PRO II is a strobe with a fast recycle time, adjustable color temperature, adjustable power, a TFT color screen, extended compatibility with triggers and light modifiers, and an ultra-friendly interface. The powerful 40 W LED built-in modeling light lets the photographer preview the lighting design, which isn’t possible with a regular flash.
Furthermore, the XPLOR 600 PRO II is designed for outdoor shoots, extending the use of studio lights outside the studio and offering the photographer the option of a versatile workflow.
Flashpoint eVOLV 200 Pro II
The Flashpoint eVOLV 200 Pro II is a pocket flash kit that provides the professional-grade illumination and portability a photographer desires. By offering it as a gift, you offer a superior photography experience and endless artistic opportunities.

Flashpoint Zoom Li-on Manual R2 Speedlight
For street photographers and event photographers, nothing beats an on-camera flash unit. They are always on the move, so their gear must be ready to fire anytime. The Zoom Li-on Manual R2 has a solid construction, a reliable battery, and all the features amateur and professional photographers need. Furthermore, the head rotates 180 degrees in any direction and tilts 90 degrees.
Flashpoint Zoom Li-on III R2

The battery is capable of 450 full-power flashes per charge, the design is compact and lightweight, and the rectangular head can be modified into a round head with the help of Flashpoint S-R1 Round Head Magnetic Modifier Accessory Adapter. If there is just one artificial light to be taken, let it be this one.
Flashpoint Godox M1 RGB Creative Light
We return to creative lighting because festive lighting is the season’s theme. The Godox M1 is a continuous LED light that works equally well for photography and videography. It offers adjustable hue and saturation across 360 colors, 15 special effect modes, 40 presets, and an articulated mounting bracket. The battery lasts a few hours, leaving enough room for experimentation and creativity. The Godox M1 is user-friendly, has an intuitive LCD screen, and fits into a pocket.

Flashpoint Barndoor Kit for the eVOLV 200 Fresnel Head
If the photographer already uses the eVOLV 200 Fresnel speedlight head, it’s time for new accessories. This barndoor kit includes four magnetic gels for creating lighting effects and a 30-degree honeycomb semi-spot grid. It is extremely easy to set up and use and can improve any type of photograph, from wedding and environmental portraiture to photojournalism and commercial photography.
Flashpoint Creative Color Gel Kit for Flashpoint XPLOR600 and Godox AD600 Monolights

With this in mind
Flashpoint may be the solution if you give lighting gear as a gift. They offer various products that fit any photographic genre and workflow. Furthermore, they provide cool accessories that make perfect gifts. If you don’t know exactly what photo equipment the receiver uses, opt for products compatible with many camera brands. And if the receiver already uses artificial lighting gear, opt for accessories such as color gels and LED lights.
Last but not least, consider the photographer’s style, personality, and workflow. Some products are designed for outdoor use, while others are designed for studio use. Some are good for stationary photo setups, while others are ideal for on-the-move photo setups. All these small details matter and help you select the perfect gift.
