Westcott FJ250 250Ws AC/DC Strobe

The Westcott FJ250 is a 250Ws AC/DC strobe designed for photographers who need portable flash power with consistent colour. It operates on a 74Wh lithium-ion battery or mains supply, making it suitable for both studio and location work. The bi-color output ranges from 2700K to 6500K for versatile lighting control.

Fast Recycle Times and Battery Swaps

The strobe recycles in 0.01 to 0.9 seconds on DC power, allowing continuous shooting during fast-paced sessions. The included FJ Pro battery delivers over 850 full-power flashes per charge and swaps quickly with optional ProMax units. An AC trickle-charge function keeps the battery topped up during long studio days.

850 Full-Power Flashes Per Charge

At full 250Ws output the system provides 850-plus flashes before the battery needs recharging, covering most portrait and event sessions. The optional ProMax battery extends this to 1,400-plus flashes for high-volume days. Photographers requiring significantly more output per flash should consider the 400Ws or 800Ws models in the same system.

Questions about this item

How can I confirm the FJ250 is recycling at the advertised 0.01 to 0.9 second speed after setup?

Fire a test sequence at full power using the FJ Pro Battery; the OLED touchscreen will display each recycle time, letting you verify it falls within the 0.01–0.9 second window.

What ships with the FJ250 and which power accessories are sold separately?

The box includes the 250Ws strobe head, one 74Wh FJ Pro Battery and an AC adapter; the higher-capacity FJ ProMax Battery is an optional purchase.

Should I choose the FJ250, FJ400 II or FJ800 for my workflow?

Pick the FJ250 for 250Ws output and 850+ full-power flashes per charge, the FJ400 II for 400Ws, or the FJ800 for 800Ws — all share batteries, chargers and Bowens-mount modifiers.
