Courtenay Studios has become the United Kingdom distributor of Priolite, the German-made portable studio lighting brand. The deal brings Priolites to the British Isles for the first time, having previously been available mostly in mainland Europe.
The Priolite MBX system is a line of battery-powered monolight flash heads, each with a removable lithium ion battery pack, LED modelling lamps and a 2.4GHz remote control system. There are also pack-and-head versions of the same lights, called the M-Pack series, and a monolight-shaped continuous video lamp, the LED400.
Each light has an bayonet mount that accepts both Bowens S-type and Hensel lighting accessories. Courtenay will also be carrying a selection of Priolite-branded reflectors, beauty dishes, umbrellas and softboxes.
