QUA DX
Flash Head
Yes! You can use your standard Bowens studio
flash heads with the Explorer - no need to buy
extra battery generator specific heads!
The Explorer compatible, fan-cooled QUADX
flash head is capable of handling up to 3000Ws
and can be fitted with 120V 100W or 250W
modelling lamps when powered by the Explorer.
The user-changeable flash tube features a
three-electrode design to deliver the fastest
possible flash duration. A UV-balanced Pyrex
dome ensures colour integrity and security.
When combined with the full line of Bowens S-
type reflectors and accessories this system will
give you unmatched lighting versatility and
unlimited creative capabilities.

RingLite
This classic lighting accessory gives a unique
full-frontal lighting effect that makes it popular
among fashion photographers.
The camera mounts to the centre of an opening
that is surrounded by two semicircular 1500Ws
flash tubes to achieve amazing results. To
ensure short flash duration, the flash tubes have
three, rather than two, electrodes and each has
a separate cable. The RingLite can be used
with any QUAD generator and its integral
mounting bracket adjusts for use with virtually
all medium format, digital and 35mm cameras.

For refined lighting effects, two quite different
reflectors are available.
RingLite High-Intensity Reflector
This reflector increases the overall size of the
light source, intensifying the light output.

RingLite Diffuser
For a softer lighting effect, this opal diffuser can
be used with the Ringflash. This will soften the
shadows and is perfect for most direct lighting
applications.

Remote Triggering
Pulsar Radio Trigger System
Whether you are triggering flash heads for complicated lighting setups or
cameras for remote control nature shots or special effects, this system is
for you.
Each Pulsar unit can be either a transmitter or receiver and is capable of
sending or receiving signals beyond 100m (333’). Unlike IR triggering
systems, the radio-transmitted Pulsar operates around corners and
through walls.
The Pulsar has four separate channels, enabling the photographer to
isolate up to four light sources or to combine them and fire all of them at
once without leaving the camera. Additionally, the Pulsar has a studio
selector switch, which provides isolation from other Pulsar units using the
same channel, and allowing up to six different systems to operate
independently in the same space or studio.
A clip-on platform is available, allowing you to clip the Pulsar anywhere that
it is needed.
Other Pulsar features include:
• Long battery life up to 200 hours of continuous use from two AAA
batteries.
• Low voltage operation of just 3V making it ideal for use with sensitive
digital cameras.
• Compact and lightweight design allows the units to be mounted directly
onto your camera’s hot shoe or to your generator, or monolights.
