Strobe 5000 flash console with lights

Post by Peter Phipp » Sat Dec 07, 2013 3:38 pm Etc/GMT-1+01:00

I have a David Cecil STROBE 5000 Console with 4 standard lights with 1000 joule tubes and also 3 5ft strip lights and a 2ft by 2ft square softbox with a 5000 joule tube also a proper 5000 joule focusing spot. I have owned this for many years for my studio lighting for still life shot on 8x10 cameras. A table top set up will expose at about f45 -64 on 100 asa film. This is exceptionally powerful flash equipment. It is very reliable , the condensers in it are oil filled. I have no use for it any more and would like to sell it. It is a complete studio outfit. Complete with strobe stands for the lights this cost many thousands of pounds if you were to buy it new. Of course it is not new but it all works. Offers around £850 for everything. You can shoot 10x8 studio portraits at about F32 on 100 asa. Can be seen in Richmond London.

It looks like someone still repairs these (John Kent in London) which is good to know. Do you have any pictures of the equipment?

Stephan I have owned this for a long time. It is well used but works very well. I do not have photos but for your info there are two 5ft long 5000joule strip lights ( great for lighting even backgrounds) 4 CL flash heads with stands, a 2ft square softlight on its own heavy duty stand , a 10 ft long boom arm that holds a light and or umbrella . Also a strobe 5000 joule spotlight. You really have a complete studio. Yes John Kent used to service my strobe unit. It is all here in Richmond if you want to come and see. Peter
