Well, this is an interesting looking light. I’m not sure about its claim of being “The First True Continuous Strobe Hybrid”, but it’s definitely interesting. It’s the SteallPro Reflex from Light and Motion and on paper, it looks quite impressive. It’s certainly not cheap, but it seems to fulfil some unique use cases that other lights may not be able to satisfy.

There are two models. The Reflex and Reflex S offer up to 9000 Lumen output depending on your power source. They’re IP65 rated, meaning they’re completely dust-tight and are protected from “low-pressure jets” of directed water. They’re also drop-proof, D-Tap compatible and accept Bowens, Chimera and Profoto modifiers.
