HQRS Next Generation 2400ws Round Modeling Head with Straight Cord
The HQRS has the high power Quartz Flashtube to be better suited for the Action Packs or use over 800ws.
The Next Generation Heads look the closest to the old classic design because they have the round cylindrical shape to the body. The attached five foot long straight Head Cord will connect to any Lumedyne Power Pack.
There are two sync jacks on the rear of the Head, both the household style and the mini-phone sockets are available near the buttons for the modeling light and test flash.
The Head includes the 2400ws flashtube, modeling lamp, five inch reflector, two diffusors and a metal snoot.
The HQRS has a 2400ws Quartz Flashtube so it is recommended for use with the Action Packs or if you have more than 800ws. The flashtube and the Next Generation Flash Heads can connect to all the Lumedyne Power Packs and also work at low settings. They have built in head cables and the HQRS has a 5 foot straight cord. The body of the Next Gen’ Heads looks a lot like the Classic Heads because the lightweight round design is so easy to handle and pack for travel. Those photographers who carry their Heads on a camera bracket appreciate that these are lighter than most other options.
The Next Generation Heads have a safe low sync voltage on both of the sync jacks (household and mini-phone) so they can be connected to cameras or slaves without worry. They can be test fired or have the modeling light turned on/off with the buttons near the sync jacks on the rear of the Head.
While the Heads are made with a plastic shell, they are still quite capable and can be used with a wide variety of light modifiers. The main advantage is their weight since they weigh less than a pound. Some people appreciate the head cable being built into the Head, “one less thing to forget” and it is possible to have the Heads built with custom longer lengths of head cords.

The HQRS also includes a 2400ws Quartz Flashtube (AFTQ) and a separate Modeling Bulb (AMBR) protected with a 5 inch reflector (ARST) and two diffusor covers (ADC1 & ADC2) plus a metal snoot (ASNT).
