The Linkstar Studio Flash LF-500D is a complete studio flash for professional users. The Linkstar LF-500D studio flash, with a flash output of 500Ws, offers everything you would expect from a professional studio flash: a fast recharge time, a robust metal housing, a professional S-bayonet mount for accessories, fan cooling for extended use, and a built-in slave receiver (which can be turned off). The flash can be adjusted very precisely using a digital display. The included 250W modeling lamp can be turned on and off, and its power can be set proportionally to the flash output. Additionally, the flash features an auto-dump function, meaning it automatically discharges when the power is reduced. A ready indication is provided by an LED and a switchable beeper.

The lamp is equipped with a standard spigot mount at the bottom, allowing it to be attached to almost any tripod. At the front, the lamp has a Linkstar bayonet mount, to which various accessories such as softboxes and reflectors can be connected. The S-bayonet mount is also compatible with some other brands that use the S-bayonet mount, such as Bowens. The base also includes a umbrella holder for inserting a reflective umbrella.
