Bron Elektronik

Bron Elektronik is a manufacturer of flash equipment for photography. It is located in Allschwil in Switzerland. Bron manufactures the Broncolor and Visatec lines of strobes. The Broncolor line includes studio systems with separate power packs and heads, as well as monolights; Visatec concentrates on monolights and also markets battery packs for portability. Both lines include light modifiers.[1] The Focal Encyclopedia of Photography describes Broncolor as "the leading Swiss manufacturer" of generator flash systems.[2]

The flagship of the Broncolor line is the Scoro A4S. Columnist Dan Havlik subjected this power-pack system to an in-depth review in Photo District News.[3] The Scoro Line garnered the 2009 Technical Image Press Association (TIPA) award for Best Studio Generator.[4]
