Product Information

Full details

The Westcott FJ400-SE 2-Light Studio Strobe Kit is a professional-grade lighting solution tailored for studio portrait and commercial photographers who demand consistent, high-output illumination. Providing two 400Ws AC-powered strobes and two 42-inch softboxes, this kit excels at delivering soft, wraparound light with precise color accuracy. While it offers exceptional power and speed, it is worth noting that this specific kit is optimized for AC-powered studio work rather than mobile location shooting, requiring a consistent power source for operation.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use these lights outdoors?

These units are AC-powered and require a wall outlet or high-capacity power station to operate, making them best suited for studio environments.

Does this kit include light stands?

No, the FJ400-SE 2-Light Kit includes the strobe heads, softboxes, triggers, and cables, but light stands must be purchased separately.

Can I use non-Westcott modifiers?

Yes, the units feature a Bowens S-Type mount, which is compatible with most standard third-party modifiers.

What is the recycle time of the FJ400-SE?

The kit features a fast recycle time of 0.5 to 1.0 seconds at full power.

How many channels does the wireless trigger support?

The included FJ-X3 M trigger supports 32 channels and 16 groups for complex setups.

Is the color temperature adjustable?

The unit is locked at a stable 5500K to provide consistent daylight-balanced lighting for professional results.

Troubleshooting

Strobe is not firing when the trigger is pressed.

Check that the FJ-X3 M trigger is on the same channel and group as the strobes, and ensure the battery in the trigger is charged.

Light color seems inconsistent during a session.

Ensure the strobe is set to 'Standard' mode and not a high-speed sync or strobe mode that may shift color output.

Modeling lamp will not turn on.

Check the power settings on the strobe unit menu to ensure the modeling lamp is enabled and the intensity is set above zero.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Fast recycle times between 0.5 and 1.0 seconds for efficient shooting
Comprehensive kit includes magnetic reflectors and color gel sets for creative versatility
Highly reliable color consistency at 5500K
Easy-to-use wireless triggering system with extensive group support
Standard Bowens mount ensures long-term accessory compatibility

Cons

Limited to AC power, restricting use to indoor studio environments
Requires the FJ-X3 M trigger for full wireless functionality
Setup footprint is significant due to the inclusion of two large octaboxes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setting up the FJ400-SE is straightforward. Simply mount the strobes on sturdy light stands, attach the power cables to an AC outlet, and snap the ClickBox softboxes onto the Bowens S-Type mount.

Compatibility: The system is native to the Westcott FJ wireless ecosystem, requiring the FJ-X3 M trigger for wireless control. The Bowens mount allows for the attachment of various grids, snoots, and reflectors from most major third-party manufacturers.

Care: Always store the strobes in a cool, dry place. When packing away the ClickBox softboxes, ensure the fabric is free of debris to prevent tears. Regularly inspect power cables for fraying and use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the flash units. Avoid touching the flash tube with bare hands, as skin oils can cause hot spots and reduce the life of the bulb.
