Providing a 800Ws output in a compact design, the Broncolor Siros 800 S Expert 2-Light Kitfrom Broncolor Siros 800 S Expert 2-Light Kitis a reliable studio flash unit with Wi-Fi connectivity and a built-in RFS 2.1 receiver for wireless control and triggering. It has a 9-stop power range which is adjustable in 1/10 or full stop increments for great control over light output. The Siros S is also quite fast with a flash duration from 1/8000 - 1/500second and a recycle time of 0.04 - 2.9 seconds depending on power settings. Additionally, the monolight has a halogen modeling light.

Built into the Siros S is a specialized Speed Mode that speeds up the charging time and flash duration to provide a fast sequence of exposures, up to 50 per second at the fastest setting. Also, the unit has a USB connection for software updates and is fan cooled for temperature control. An integrated reflector and mount are included for adding modifiers to the light.

When the Siros is connected to a Wi-Fi network, each light can be identified by a different-color LED and can be easily controlled using the bronControl app for smartphones and tablets

With the integrated Broncolor RFS 2.1 receiver, users can use the RFS 2.1 transmitter for remote control from the camera

Cut-off technology uses a microprocessor to calculate the flash duration to an output, enabling sequences with up to 50 flashes per second

Enhanced Color Temperature Control technology adapts flash voltage and duration in order to achieve a constant color temperature over the entire variation range

Individual power distribution means the unit has controllers for each lamp in order to have greater control over the flash power range

Speed mode reduces flash duration and charging time while reducing the maximum power in order to achieve a series of rapid exposures without overheating

Single rotary control for flash power output setting, a slight turn provides 1/10 stops while a "Twist" function allows for whole stops

Internal discharge when power is reduced

Grip features double-wall plastic with a special coating for durability and comfort

Aluminum stand adapter can be used with the handle to function as a built-in floor stand

Standard sync port and built-in photocell are available for more elaborate triggering setups

Black aluminum body construction

Designed and developed in Switzerland

[1/8000 Sec] This reflector is well build as you would expect from Broncolor,! 5

Aaron	15/09/2024
[Audio & Visual] These lights are amazing! They are heavy, but the power, speed and color accuracy is pure perfection. The ability for High speed sync is important to me, and the app gives great control and extra modes that you just don't get with cheaper lights. They are expensive, but well worth it. The craftsmanship is great, and the padded bag is beautiful and well designed with quality in mind. The included umbrella and soft box are small and portable, but I do prefer larger modifiers most times. If you can afford it and do a lot of on location shoots. . These babies can turn day into night, and compete with the sun behind your subject. I highly recommend them and B&H! My first set came damaged, but B&H quickly replaced it. 5

[Broncolor] This is a great light and has more than enough power. I just wish it was smaller and that it came with a seconded battery. 5

[1x Reflector] This reflector is pretty straightforward, mounts to my Siros 800, and I use it for the Broncolor line of barndoors and grids. I bought the Broncolor Siros set that did not come with this kind of reflector (comes with 2 standard umbrella cylinder reflectors), and I now have many more possibilities with this reflector and the modifiers I previously mentioned. FYI, you cannot use Barndoors + Grids, the barndoors fit inside the outer rim of this reflector, and only add a small amount of thickness to the inner diameter, but you cannot put grids inside it, incase you were wondering (and not that you would need to utilize both, of course). 5

Darryl	06/08/2024
[1/8000 Sec] Ordered this to upgrade from the Siros Basic Reflector. Used Elinchrom, Bowens, Dynalite, Norman, and Novatron Standard Reflectors before and I prefer this one over them all. Approx. 1 stop more output at center. Very nice uniform beam spread with a fairly gradual falloff as you go outwards from the center. 2 Piece construction is solid. Seems to serve the purpose that if the outer shell is dinged it will not affect the light output unless you hit it insanely hard to damage both the outer and inner pieces. The lip on the front facing side is textured as to grip a grid well. They should make available a plastic front protective cover for this reflector. Anyways, I love it and am sure it will survive the test of time. 5

[1x Monolight] I'm converting from Alien Bees to Broncolor moonlights. This is th unit used for grids on the Siros. It works very well. 5

Alivin	12/07/2024
[1x Monolight] First and foremost, if you’re looking for the best. Look no further. Broncolor hands down. 2x 400 watts is more than enough to take over the sun here in sunny South Florida. And I shoot with 5D Mark IV and EOS R. I originally was using duo Profoto B10’s. But they just do not compare. The bronControl app is amazing. The Siros lights come with a usb to enable you to update their firmware. When doing film or LARGE SCALE creative photography I use both broncolor and Profoto. I attach the Profoto trigger right on top of the RFS 2.2 and it’s just INCREDIBLE. What I’m upset with is, this set is costly no matter who the photographer is. When it comes to me. I expect it to look like the money I spent. When I went to pick up the set from my local fedex office. They were complaining and I agree and see why. The box looked like garbage. Literally. I’m surprised the units weren’t broken and thank goodness they weren’t because I could’ve missed out on a magnificent product. B&H HANDLE THINGS WITH CARE. PLEASE. 5

Nadav	11/07/2024
[1/8000 Sec] Aside from broncolor's apparent lack of inventory and subsequent long wait time for B&H to actually fulfill my order, everything arrived in one piece and is as described. 5

Garry	08/07/2024
[Audio & Visual] Have used Broncolor for years got the L40 to replace well-used traveler reflectors. A bit bulkier but very well made less likely to dent or bend. Double-walled reflector this built and barn doors and grides at a great price. 5

Sunny	05/07/2024
[2.4 GHz] By far the best light Ive worked with (compared to Hensel and Profoto). The light quality and consistency is unmatchable. The only downside to Broncolor is the way you attached the modifiers, however thats something you get used to pretty quick. 5
