w LumaHawk Monolight Series: 300ws, 600ws, and 1200ws Units with Digital Controls



Las Vegas, NV (PMA Booth #M209)—Opus Pro introduces their new LumaHawk series of studio flash units with three flash voltage options: 300 watt-seconds, 600 watt-seconds, and 1200 watt-seconds. The LumaHawk series monolights feature a digital control panel for accuracy and ease of use. Each self-contained strobe unit is powered with a standard 110v AC outlet. The light source is a daylight-balanced (5500K) flash tube that is user-replaceable. The digital controller accurately adjusts light output in 1/10th-stop increments over a range of
4 stops, plus each unit has a variable-power, 250-watt modeling light with a separate on/off switch. Each monolight has a built-in photocell, so it can be triggered with another flash light source. You can turn the photocell off if you’d rather connect a sync cord into the standard 1/4″ jack or use a wireless remote trigger. At full power, the 300ws monolight recycles in only 1.8 seconds, the 600ws in 2.1 seconds, and the 1200ws in 2.8 seconds. A ready-light indicator illuminates when the flash capacitors are fully charged. Also, the photographer has the option of setting the unit to beep when fully charged.



Each unit has a durable metal housing and includes integrated circuitry to protect against overheating. Additionally, the 1200ws unit is fan-cooled. The formed metal mounting bracket attaches to most light stands. Substantial construction and high-end features meet the rigorous demands of professional photographers.



Like all Opus and Opus Pro products, the LumaHawk Monolights have undergone testing by an OSHA accredited laboratory to ensure that they meet or exceed both UL and CSA safety standards. Additionally, these products are independently tested for reliability, durability, and safety before they are certified for field use in the USA and Canada.
