TESTIMONIAL:
“For years we used a cheaper light and fought with a power pack with limited power. You change power on one light and they all change. Then we went digital and the problems showed up. Inconsistent color. Inconsistent power. Film hid the problem, digital exaggerated it.
“Listening to our friends in the industry, we decided to buy four Photogenic 1250’s. My satisfaction was immediate. I was able to control each light exactly as I wished. Fast recycle times, accurate color and all the power I needed, where I needed it.
“We liked them so much that when we opened our children’s camera room we bought six more, only this time we upgraded to the 1250DR’s. The digital readout was awesome. I can move the light power up in small increments to get the exact setting I want. We are opening a second studio this summer and it will also be set up with Photogenic 1250DR’s.
“My Photogenic lights have allowed me to grow as an artist. In any lighting situation I can imagine, I have the tools at hand to create.”
