Also, battery powered units like the B1 and others mentioned can't be powered by 120VAC - they require "speed cyclers"
Just out of curiosity, does that mean one COULDN'T use a VMX / VML with something like the Photogenic 1250 Generator / Lamphead combination (where there is a single "power pack" generator that powers a single lamphead).
Thanks in advance.
(Not actively thinking of buying one of those photogenic strobes, but just curious. It's one of those things where they sell NEW for a lot more than an AB800 but sell USED for a lot LESS than an AB800. There is probably a reason for this...)
First, the VLX will power a Photogenic as well as most other AC powered Generator/Lamphead systems just fine.
As for the reason ABs have such a high resale value is because they are the most popular lights, by a wide margin. Also, many international customers buy used ABs from eBay because they are very difficult to get outside USA/Canada.
