The Clamshell lighting set up is commonly used in beauty and headshot photography to produce a soft, glowing light which is flattering to most subjects. This is the go-to lighting set up for many commercial headshot photographers, as well as beauty photographers.
The traditional one-light Clamshell set-up consists of the main light, being placed centred in front of your subject, raised slightly above eye level. A boom stand is commonly used for this set up as the light can be boomed over your subject so that the stand’s centre-column doesn’t end up in the frame. The reflector is then used to provide subtle fill from underneath your subject’s chin.
The PIXAPRO® LUMI 400 II flash (Godox Gemini GS400II), is a stylish, robust, versatile and dependable studio monolight strobe suitable for both the serious Amateur photographer and the Pro User alike. It offers an impressive flash duration of up to 1/2000th of a second, as well as super-fast recycling time at just over one second.
The PIXAPRO® LUMI 400 II features a bright 150w modelling lamp, and a 400Ws flash tube, that has a 6-stop power range (1/1 – 1/32 power) which can be adjusted in 1/10 of a stop increments. The power output is represented by a fraction, or 5.0 (min.) to 8.0 (max.) on the digital screen located at the back of the unit. The Lumi 400 II also features an Auto-Dump feature, meaning that you don’t have to manually discharge your flash then you reduce its output power. The power of the flash and the modelling lamp can be adjusted using two control dial located at the back of the unit.
The PIXAPRO® LUMI 400 II features a built-in 2.4GHz flash receiver, which allows it to be used in conjunction with the ST-III, ST-IV, ECO 2.4 or Pro AC 2.4GHz flash Triggers. This allows you to control your flash heads remotely, removing the need to go up and individually adjust every light in your set up, saving you precious time. It also has a 3.5mm sync jack allowing it to be triggered by a sync cable, or other radio triggering systems. It also features an intelligent slave cell that can be set to ignore a Pre-Flash allowing it to be used in conjunction with your TTL flashes with no problems, which opens up a whole new world of lighting possibilities.

Amazon Review
Having been a studio based owner photographer now retired I just do Passport and ID photos from home based studio. My last Elinchrom died I need a replacement Asap, I picked the Pixapro 400 arrived in 2-3 days after a couple of quick tests I am really pleased with the results of the finished prints and the quality and power of the Flash Head, easy to use quick to change settings with good visual display consistent outputs. It seems well made and comes with everything you need for an instant start.
Lights, Camera, Awesome!
Value for money here is paramount! - these strobes are awesome - Great power range, modelling lamp and solid reliable build. So good in fact i bought a second one. My goto gear people. Keep it up Pixapro!

Brilliant product - just as it should be.
I already have two 200Ws Pixapro Lumi studio Flash heads which I am very happy with, but decided to get the more powerful 400Ws version as my main light so that there is plenty of power when using soft boxes with diffusers and other light modifiers. I decided to use this same UK based seller again because of their fast delivery service, UK backup and warranty and so I could be certain that it would be designed for UK voltage and fitted with UK 3 pin plug and power cable.
This light has all the features that I consider to be important: Flash brightness as claimed and verified using my light meter, wireless USB port for optional wireless control , 6 stop range, internal cooling fan, auto power dump, reflector supplied, glass dome lamp protector supplied, auto memory, LED power display.
I already have a wireless transmitter and spare receiver for use with this light and everything works as it should do. I like being able to switch off modelling lights remotely rather than using the manual switch on the back of the head to avoid shaking a hot modelling bulb and reducing its life span.
So everything is up and go for my next shoot in two days time
Lights, Camera, Awesome!,
