Is there a battery pack for this studio flash?

[Rooster]

Hi, I recently bought a starter studio lighting kit on Ebay and so far I am very impressed - I think it's great value for money. However, I'm doing a wedding in a couple of weeks and I'd really like to take one of these studio flashes along as a portable flash for the big group shots. I have two flashguns I can use off-camera but I'd like the insurance of the big 250Ws light if possible. I was watching a pro and his assistant at work yesterday at a reception and they were using a big portable strobe with battery pack.

As you can see from the attached link, the power input on my lights is basically a kettle lead. Is there a battery pack which I can use with these?

Thanks!

Yes there is, and it's available from Warehouseexpress

Whoa! That's over twice as much as my entire kit cost!

I'll be taking one light to the venue anyway but there will probably be issues with health and safety with leads trailing around and they might not like me using their electricity anyway. Looks like I'll be sticking with the flashguns.

And if you combine the cost of your kit, and the cost of that battery pack, you could buy a Lencarta Safari Li-on which is a dedicated location kit (600ws)

Very nice, but a bit out of my league... for now.

Come to think of it, I couldn't use one of my current strobes outdoors anyway if it was damp weather in case of electrocution.
