This is from the Alien Bee web site:
The Background Bee is a one light setup, perfect for lighting a backdrop or to be used as a hair or rim light. Our B400 Flash Unit
offers complete flexibility with an adjustable 5 f-stop power range,
ready for powerful high key lighting and softer hair lighting as well.
Mounted on the Backlight Stand,
the B400 can be hidden right behind the subject, or tightly positioned
to either side of your subject taking up very little space. The Honeycomb Grid
snaps into the B400’s standard 7-inch reflector (provided) to tighten
the beam spread on the background or to decrease lens flare when the
light is pointed toward the camera.
This too is from the Alien Bee web site and offers more details about the flash unit:
The B400 will perform.
The
AlienBees B400 is a powerful, self-contained studio flash unit,
producing 160 true wattseconds and 400 effective wattseconds of power,
with 7,000 lumenseconds of output. The power is independently
adjustable over a stepless 5 f-stop range from Full down to 1/32nd of
the total power, in whole f-stop increments, and everywhere in between.
This flashpower is independently adjusted on the back control panel,
with a slide fader that shows marked f-stop increments. Utilizing
advanced durability flash capacitors, coupled with axial-flow
thermodynamics, the B400 minimizes heat build-up, has increased overall
durability, and shorter flash durations.
The B400 is ready for bang-bang-bang shooting.
The B400 contains a built-in cooling fan, ready for heavy all-day
shooting conditions. With space age speed recycle to full power in just
0.5 seconds, you will never be forced to wait for your next shot.
The B400 lets you see what you’re getting.
With precision voltage regulated circuits supplying consistent output,
the B400 boasts true “what-you-see-is-what-you-get” modeling lamp
accuracy. The modeling lamp can be set to full brightness, turned
completely off, or set to track the power changes. Furthermore, the
standard 150 watt modeling lamp may be used as a recycle indicator,
turning itself off when the unit is recycling, and coming back on to
let you know when the unit is fully recycled and you are ready to shoot
again.
Don’t be bothered with excessive wiring.
The
B400 has a built-in slave tripper, disconnected by plugging in the sync
cord, to allow wireless firing where the unit will fire whenever it
“sees” a flash from another source. It will automatically dump the
excess power, removing the excess charge when the flashpower is
adjusted from a higher to a lower setting.
The B400 is versatile and indestructible.
Housed
in high-impact Lexan polycarbonate (the same material used for
bullet-proof glass), the unit is lightweight and ready to travel. With
a quick-release faceplate, a built-in hole for umbrellas, a standard
mount for light stands, and a lip on our standard reflector for
honeycomb grids, you can easily mount our wide range of accessories.
The B400 can also be portably powered with our Vagabond Portable Power
System.
