Speedotron MW9Q Flashtube

Speedotron MW9Q Flashtube is a 2400Ws quartz flash tube designed for Speedotron M11Q strobe heads, delivering 900V bursts for high‑output studio lighting and reliably powerful bursts suitable for fashion, portrait, and product photography. The standard MW9Q is a quartz, non‑UV‑coated version, while the color‑corrected UV‑coated variant MW9QC preserves the same 2400Ws and 900V rating but adds 5500K color correction for improved exposure consistency across different light modifiers and subjects; in Speedotron’s Brown Line family, these tubes are specified for replacement in the M11Q and M11Q/CC configurations. These tubes are intended to be user‑replaceable within the head system, aligning with Speedotron’s modular approach to light units, so you can swap in a fresh tube without replacing the entire pack. Typical applications include high‑output portrait and product shoots where fast, repeatable flash is needed to maintain control over lighting and subject detail. When installing or replacing the tube, ensure the power is disconnected and handle the glass carefully to avoid damage, following the unit’s assembly instructions for a safe, reliable replacement.
