Both the 125 and 500 models of the ELC heads come with Elinchrom’s Smart Pro-Active Cooling. This allows the heads ELCs to learn your shooting style and adapt their cooling cycles around it. This helps to continue with your creativity uninterrupted. Their cleverly engineered airflow design and low-noise, speed-controlled fan can handle the heaviest of workloads.
