About the Broncolor 32.115.07 Pulso G 1600 J Focusing Lamphead
The Broncolor 32.115.07 Pulso G 1600 J Focusing Lamphead is a high-performance flash head designed for the Broncolor Pulso G series of modular, high-output studio flash systems. Engineered for professional photographers working in demanding commercial, fashion, and automotive photography, this lamphead integrates a powerful 1600 watt-second flash tube within a precisely engineered reflector system that allows for adjustable beam focus. The "Focusing" capability is a key feature, enabling the photographer to manually or remotely adjust the position of the flash tube relative to the reflector, thereby changing the characteristics of the light output from a broad, even flood to a concentrated, focused spot. This provides exceptional control over the quality, spread, and intensity of the light, making it a versatile tool for creating everything from soft, wraparound illumination to hard, directional light with pronounced shadows and specular highlights.
Constructed to the exacting standards of the Broncolor system, the lamphead is built with robust, heat-resistant materials to ensure reliability during intensive shooting sessions. It is designed to mount seamlessly onto Broncolor power packs like the Grafit A2 or F1600, which provide the high-voltage energy storage and sophisticated control electronics needed to drive the flash. The lamphead typically features a standard Broncolor S-Bayonet mount, allowing for quick attachment of a vast ecosystem of light-shaping modifiers, including reflectors, softboxes, beauty dishes, and fresnel lenses. This compatibility ensures that photographers can achieve precise and repeatable lighting setups tailored to their creative vision. The lamphead also incorporates a modeling lamp, which provides a continuous light source to preview the lighting effect and assist with focusing, and this lamp's intensity is often proportional to the selected flash power.
The Pulso G 1600 J lamphead represents the pinnacle of controlled flash lighting, offering photographers not just raw power but nuanced control over the light's character. Its focusing mechanism, coupled with Broncolor's renowned color consistency and fast flash durations, makes it an indispensable tool in studios where quality, precision, and reliability are paramount. Whether used as a key light, a hair light, or to illuminate large sets, this lamphead delivers the performance and flexibility required for the most exacting professional photographic work.
