Product Information
Full details
The Broncolor UV Attachment is a highly specialized light modifier designed for professionals in scientific imaging, forensic photography, and creative industries who require precise ultraviolet light output. This accessory effectively blocks visible wavelengths while transmitting UV-A and a specific range of UV-B light, making it an essential tool for capturing fluorescence or invisible spectrum details. While it offers unparalleled control for specialized technical tasks, it is not intended for general photography and requires dedicated flash heads for optimal performance.

FAQs
Does this attachment filter out all visible light?
It is designed to filter out the vast majority of visible light to allow UV transmission, but some minimal leakage may occur depending on the intensity of the flash output.
Can I use this for portrait photography?
No, this is a specialized tool for UV spectrum imaging and is not intended for standard portrait photography.
What safety precautions should I take when using this?
UV light can be harmful to skin and eyes. Always wear appropriate UV-rated protective eyewear and minimize skin exposure when the flash is triggered.
Is this compatible with Move or Siros heads?
This attachment is specifically designed for the Pulso line. Please verify your flash head series before use as it may not fit other Broncolor systems.
How do I know if my camera can record this UV light?
Your camera must have a sensor capable of recording UV wavelengths, which often requires removing the IR/UV cut filter found on standard digital camera sensors.
Troubleshooting
Attachment does not lock securely onto the flash head
Ensure the bayonet mount is clear of debris and that the Pulso flash head locking pins are fully retracted before mounting.
Visible light still appears in the final image
Verify that your flash head modeling light is completely turned off, as modeling lamps emit visible light that can contaminate the UV exposure.
UV intensity appears inconsistent
Check the flash tube for aging or residue, as UV output degrades over time with tube use; replace the flash tube if necessary.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Precision engineering for high-intensity flash systems
- Effective isolation of UV spectrum for forensic and scientific accuracy
- Seamless integration with Broncolor Pulso ecosystems
- Durable build quality suitable for demanding studio use
Cons
- Not suitable for standard commercial or portrait photography
- Requires specific knowledge of ultraviolet light safety and exposure
- Limited to use with specific Broncolor flash hardware
- Expensive, niche investment
Setup, Compatibility & Care
The Broncolor UV Attachment mounts directly to the front of compatible Pulso flash heads using the standard bayonet locking mechanism. Ensure the locking latch is fully engaged before firing to prevent the unit from detaching.
Compatibility Note: This device is exclusively designed for Broncolor Pulso flash heads; it will not fit on other brands or non-Pulso Broncolor models without custom modification.
Care Instructions:
- Keep the filter surface free of fingerprints and dust, as debris can cause uneven UV distribution or localized overheating.
- Clean the attachment with a dry, lint-free microfiber cloth.
- Store in a cool, dry place to prevent moisture buildup on the filter element.
- Do not drop the unit, as the internal filter glass is susceptible to cracking upon impact.
