Haha yes I was thinking 2 sb-800s. I love that flash. Powerful, reliable, smart. I also picked up 2 Norman 800 power packs and 9 lh2400 flash heads with various modifiers for ridiculously cheap. The issue is too much light with these. Need to use nd gels to reduce.
9 LH2400 flash heads? That sounds like serious business.
You’ll probably blow the sensor out the camera, if you use all of them together.
Yea the heads themselves can handle up to 2400 Watt/seconds each in theory. But the most one can do with 2 P800D power packs is 1600 watt/seconds in various configurations (8 heads @ 200 w/s, 2 @ 800, 4 @ 400, or any combo -including 100w/s if needed). But that is still the equivalent of around 27 sb-800s so it is a bit of light. The minimum one can do with one power pack is 2 heads x 100 W/s (or one head at 200 w/s).
What is crazy is this old norman stuff is almost given away now and is known as one of the most reliable systems there is. Tons of modifiers available for them also (beauty dish, strip lights, soft boxes, 5/7/9/10/16" reflectors of various types, snoots, flags, barn doors, grids, filter holders, etc. etc.) which can often be included in a used set. I like the series 900 stuff as it is all compatible -Lh2000/lh2400/lh2500 heads. There are a lot of Norman battery power packs out there also but I have never messed with those.
It’s quite incredible that people sell such strobes. Probably some pro studios, switching to something else. You should have a lot of possibilities with that stuff.
The most I’ve used are 4 400 Ws Elinchroms for product photography.
I always try to keep it as simple as possible.
