Godox 360Ws bare-bulb strobe - a photo on Flickriver

            Re-branded by Adorama as "Flashpoint".

I believe that I've finally found a camera-mounted flash unit with enough brightness to allow correct exposures at the higher magnifications and smaller apertures which I enjoy using.  In the past I've far too often been left with strongly underexposed images, and pushing the RAW files that much left too much noise and posterizing.

This strobe unit is rated at 360Ws, which compares to about 60-70Ws of the brightest speedlights.  It's about twice as powerful as the AlienBees B400 studio strobe which I've been using at home.

The ability of the bulb to shine laterally into whatever light modifier is fitted to it has the effect of greatly reducing the "hot spot" of the bulb itself.

There is also far less tendency to shut down due to thermal protection circuitry as air is able to flow fairly freely all around the bulb.  (The outer glass tube is simply for protection.)

(Taken through crossed polarizing filters to lower the light level of the strobe.)
