Quadralite Flash Pulse X 1200

Quadralite Pulse X studio flashes are versatile tools for photographers working across portrait, fashion, beauty and product photography. A robust housing, repeatable flash output, good ergonomics, integrated radio control and a wide choice of power versions make Pulse X a strong fit for almost any studio.

Pulse X provides a 5-stop flash-energy adjustment range (1/1–1/32) with precision down to 0.1 EV. Its modern design delivers fast recycling even at full output in under 1.5 s. At minimum power, flash duration reaches just 1/2000 s (t=0.1), making it easier to freeze movement during a shoot.

Pulse X stands out for stable flash energy across the full power range. Variation between individual flashes is only 2%, making the units well suited to professional work. Flash color temperature is 5600 K and may vary by ±200 K depending on the selected output.

Pulse X is fully compatible with the Quadralite Navigator X radio-control system. Its built-in receiver allows it to work alongside units such as Atlas 600 TTL, Reporter 360 TTL and Stroboss 60. A Navigator X controller provides remote triggering up to normal X-sync speed, flash-power adjustment and operating-mode changes. Pulse X also includes a USB port for Navigator Kit receivers. Users who already own Quadralite/Quantuum Up!, Move, Pulse or Pulse Pro lights can add Pulse X while continuing to use their existing triggers. A 6.35 mm jack is also available for third-party triggering systems.

The rear panel is simple, clear and functional. A large LCD remains easy to read even from an angle, while a nearby control dial adjusts flash power, radio channel and group. Five buttons below the display provide quick access to all main settings and functions. An ergonomically shaped stand handle makes positioning with light modifiers easier. The 150 W halogen modeling light can operate independently of flash power with manual brightness control, proportionally to flash output, switch off automatically during the flash or remain on continuously.

Quadralite Pulse X uses a robust aluminum housing that protects the internal components effectively. The metal stand mount offers tilt adjustment and is strong enough to support larger, heavier softboxes up to 150 cm in diameter. If necessary, the mount can be shifted to align with the center of gravity of the complete setup.

Quadralite Pulse X can be used with a broad range of light modifiers, including reflectors, softboxes, snoots and beauty dishes fitted with a Bowens accessory mount.
