UK-based eBay seller CotswoldPhoto has announced a new series of monolights to be released in June.
…Also on their way to me are some 600W studio strobes to sell for £149 inc courier delivery and VAT in the UK, about £10 extra for some EU countries.
Uses Bowens S bayonet fittings. I will have standard and umbrella reflectors to match at under £10 each.
They are a new design and feature the stand holder from the same stable as the umbrella holder we sell. If they go OK we also will sell 300W and 400W, at £99 and £129 each.
Plus, an update on the recently released CLS65 light stands:
The reflex stands went so well we have nearly sold out what was to have lasted 3 months – in 6 weeks. Oops. We have made a few changes as a result of customer feedback. Our next stock will be here with the lights in June. Meaning we will be out of stock for about 4-5 weeks. I have ordered a much bigger batch this time!
The new lights have the following specifications:
| Model name | A300 | A400 | A600 |
| Output power (Watts) | 300 | 400 | 600 |
