The Constellation3 head features three sockets that can be individually switched on to give you maximum control over the power of your lights. You can utilize 150 to 450 watts of cool, long life fluorescent light with the CoolStar 150 lamps or 500 to 3000 watts of halogen lighting using our 500w or 1000w tungsten balanced halogen bulbs. One power cord can supply power for two sockets; two power cords supply full power to all three sockets. |
|
The Constellation3 features a porcelain flange around each socket to reduce the risk of electrocution. The Constellation3 also comes with three socket protectors that extend the life of your light by protecting against any foreign debris getting into the sockets when they are not in use. |

|
The Constellation3 will accept our CoolStar CFL lamps (daylight-balanced), our Starlite lamps (tungsten-balanced), or our Bi-Pin Adapter for ceramic based, 2 pin G9.5 lamps. |

While other manufacturers are producing different lights for different light modification needs, the Constellation3 provides the one light source that can easily be adapted for different needs. Our Constellation3 is compatible with our OctoDome, HalfDome, SilverDome, and WhiteDome light modifiers.
The OctoDome has a narrower profile and wider angle of light dispersion then a standard soft box and has more wrap around when moved in close to your subject.
The HalfDome is a long narrow soft box for vertical or horizontal lighting. It is perfect for the product photographer who needs narrow highlights. Portrait photographers also love the HalfDome because of its extraordinary capability as a hair light and narrow fill light.
The SilverDome is a rectangular soft box that gives you the ability to position it vertically or horizontally to control the angle of light for people or product photography.
The WhiteDome is one of our most versatile soft boxes. The sides are removable to create a big soft light source. Adding one or more sides onto the WhiteDome enables the photographer/videographer to control light onto the subject and eliminate unwanted reflections. |

The large Dual Kit Transpac rolling bag has an extra heavy-duty nylon exterior with a 1/2-inch thick PVC internal frame. This design produces a lightweight, yet durable semi-hard case that rolls smoothly on inline skate wheels. The internal dividers are completely removable and adjustable so that you can get a completely custom fit for future equipment. |
