Pixapro LUMI400 400Ws Studio Flash Monolight
The Pixapro LUMI400 is a compact and dependable 400Ws studio flash designed for photographers who want a simple, powerful and affordable introduction to studio lighting. Suitable for both beginners and more experienced users, it offers the core features needed for portrait, pet, school, home studio and small commercial photography, including fast recycling, a built-in wireless receiver, slave mode, a clear digital display and S-Type modifier compatibility.
With twice the power of the LUMI200, the LUMI400 is a stronger choice for larger modifiers, smaller group portraits or situations where you need more light output while still keeping the setup compact and easy to use. It is also part of the Pixapro One System, allowing it to work alongside other compatible Pixapro flashes and be controlled from a single trigger.
Why We Like It
The LUMI400 is a great step-up option for photographers who want more power than an entry-level 200Ws head without making their setup complicated. It is straightforward to control, compatible with a wide range of S-Type modifiers and powerful enough for more demanding home studio, school and portrait work.
Ideal For
- Home studio photography
- Students and schools learning studio lighting
- Portrait photography
- Pet photography
- Small product photography
- Photographers moving from speedlights to studio flash
- Users who need more power for larger softboxes or group portraits
Simple Studio Flash Control
The LUMI400 is designed to make studio flash approachable. It features simple, intuitive controls and a large illuminated digital display, making it easy to read and adjust power settings, even in darker studio environments. The 150W modelling lamp helps you preview the direction and shape of your light before taking the shot.
400Ws Output with Fine Adjustment
The 400Ws flash output gives you plenty of power for portraits, pets, products and more controlled studio setups. The 6-stop power range runs from full power down to 1/32, with fine adjustment in 0.1 stop increments, giving you accurate control over exposure and lighting balance.
Fast, Reliable Performance
With recycle times of just over one second and flash durations up to 1/2000s depending on output, the LUMI400 is well suited to regular studio use. It includes an audible ready beep and visual flash confirmation, so you can clearly tell when the flash has fired and when it is ready for the next shot.
Built-In Wireless Receiver
The built-in 2.4GHz receiver allows the LUMI400 to work with compatible Pixapro triggers, including ST-III, ST-III+, ST-IV, ECO 2.4 and Pro AC 2.4GHz trigger systems. This allows wireless triggering and remote control of settings such as flash power, modelling lamp, groups and channels.
Part of the Pixapro One System
As part of the Pixapro One System, the LUMI400 can be used alongside other compatible Pixapro flashes and controlled from one trigger. This makes it easy to start with one light and build a larger multi-light setup as your photography develops.
Practical Features for Everyday Studio Use
The LUMI400 includes an anti-pre-flash function, allowing it to work alongside speedlights and TTL flash systems that use a pre-flash. It also features automatic temperature-controlled ventilation, with a cooling fan that activates when needed to help protect the unit during longer shooting sessions.
S-Type Modifier Mount
The S-Type bayonet mount makes the LUMI400 compatible with a wide range of popular light modifiers, including softboxes, reflectors, beauty dishes and other S-Type accessories. This gives you plenty of creative control over the softness, spread and shape of your light.
