Fantastic mono lights.

I've been using the PL1250 and 1250DR and love them. I would have replaced the 1250 for another DR with digital controls but it works so well I can't see any reason to part with it. Love the size and use them with Chimera softboxes for location shoots. Adorama definitely had the best price and customer service.

Great Medium Power Monolight

I now have two of these and two of the larger 2500DR models. The digital controls let you easily adjust power in 1/10 or 1/2 stop increments. The modeling light is also variable. I love all of my Photogenic gear.

The PowerLight PL2 series incorporates the most advanced electronic components providing you with superior lighting control, repeatability and optional wireless function controls. The four models are constructed to fulfill the demanding operational needs of the professional photographer. The DR models offer digital displays for flash power or modeling power and precision adjustments in 1/10 or 1/2 f-stop increments. All four models incorporate proportional or manual options for the 250-watt quartz modeling lamps.

Top Mount
Extend the life of ceiling mounted units. Monolights are designed to function longer if the flash capacitors are allowed to cool by venting properly. Inverting the light from a ceiling system will also invert the flash caps preventing heat from escaping and shortening the normal life of the flash caps. Photogenic has a TOP MOUNT option to keep PowerLights operating longer.

  • The back panel of the 1250DR features touch control for both flash and model lighting. Lit digital display is easy to view - showing both flash and modeling light power settings.
