broncolor Stelos 800 L. High-end monolight for ultimate flexibility

Transcontinenta UK Ltd, broncolor distributor for the UK and Ireland, proudly introduces the broncolor Stelos 800 L, the newest addition to broncolor’s portfolio of professional lighting tools.

This high-end monolight delivers 800 joules of flash energy, battery operation with simultaneous charging, and premium broncolor light quality. All in a significantly more compact and intuitive design. Engineered and manufactured in Switzerland, the Stelos is designed for professionals who demand uncompromising quality, speed, and control in every environment. Whether in a studio or on a remote location, the Stelos brings unprecedented performance to the most compact form factor in broncolor’s monolight line up. With Stelos, the world becomes your studio.

Advanced flash technology meets everyday usability

The Stelos monolight combines cutting-edge flash technology with everyday usability. It features a bright, high-contrast LCD screen with configurable display modes, from minimalist to full control view, and is operated via just two buttons and a rotary/push encoder. New to the monolight class: adjustable flash colour temperature, a feature previously reserved for high-end power packs, is now available in Stelos. High-speed sync (HSS) is also supported, making Stelos ideal for fast-paced, high-performance shoots. The integrated LED modelling light delivers variable colour temperatures from 2700 to 6500 K with excellent output - adaptable to match any ambient conditions.

V-mount battery powered

Stelos is powered by a universal V-mount battery system, giving photographers the flexibility to use batteries from broncolor or other leading brands. The device can also charge while in use via USB-C, compatible with standard laptop chargers or the included 140-watt adapter. This open battery system is particularly attractive to rental houses, where total cost of ownership is paramount, as it allows for efficient inventory management and compatibility across gear. Other users also benefit by reducing both operational costs and the environmental impact associated with proprietary lithium battery systems, thanks to the versatility and longevity of the universal V-mount platform.

Seamless integration with existing workflows

The Stelos integrates seamlessly with your existing broncolor workflows, supporting broncolor RFS 2 and 3 radio transmitters, the bronControl app (via built-in WiFi), and bronAPI for custom integration. For larger sets with multiple units, multicolour cognition lights make device identification fast and effortless. With its robust bayonet mount, Stelos supports also the full range of broncolor light modifiers, even the largest one such as the Para, ensuring maximum creativity and consistency across lighting setups.
