hello all, I am wanting to build a circuit to power my flashpoint 320m monolights from a 12v battery. these come factory ready for direct dc input. the battery pack transformer is 125$ from the factory. specs are as follows, each flash has a maximum output of 150ws, the factory version can run 2 flashes from 1 pack. The magic box outputs 470vdc at full charge. I am still learning but can build from a schematic even if I dont completely understand the magic inside. what is the best way to go about converting 12vdc up to 470vdc?
I was thinking a simple oscillator coupled to an appropriate transformer and a large cap to buffer the charging cycle of the internal caps with a hefty diode bridge to output the dc to the flash units.
Am I on the right track here?
