No.


The capacitor stores up a charge then releases all the energy at once thus producing the burst of light.





The strobes come with a modeling light, so technically you could shoot with that. But it is so under powered that would be a pointless thing to do.





If you want a constant source light they still make a range of hot lights that are great.


The top brands are Mole Richardson and Arri
No, but you can buy or rent studio lights with the flash built in. I do not recommend any one place but check the yellow pages for photo supply stores, most reputable stores rent studio equipment as it can be very expensive to do studio work.
Only if you re-wire the case to accept LED's, or something as small.
You do not say what the nature of your subject is!





For portraits I would suggest you should not use your flash as constant light.





If you are shooting still life or product work, then it is possible to use to use flash as a constant light, if your flash units have built in modeling lights.





However modeling lights are low power and are not daylight balanced.





Daylight balanced lights have a colour temperature around 5600 Degree Kelvin, whilst Modeling lights are around 3200 K. The lower col temp can be raised by fitting an appropriate correction filter to your lens, or if you are using a digital camera, the daylight balance can be overcome by either manually adjusting the White Light settings, or allow the Auto Adjust settings in your camera to control the white light settings..





To Keep things simple use the Auto White Balance Setting.





The power, or wattage, of the modeling light is extremely low and you will need to use a high ISA setting (400+), which may introduce noise into your output. You should be prepared to use a tripod, in which case you may well have the opportunity to reduce your ISA settings down to 200 or less.





A tripod will also give you the opportunity to use a smaller aperture settings say f16 and slower shutter speeds so increasing the available depth of field.





Hope this helps!
no thats why they are called ';flash'; or ';flashes';,





a
I'll take a stab....





What you've asked is, as the others have noted, a contradiction.





However, most serious studio strobes have what are called modeling lights, which help the photographer set up the lights. The modeling lights shut off at the same time as the (much more powerful) strobes fire.





You can also get studio hotlights, which have a different set of advantages and disadvantages from strobes.
Original Flash and Studio Lighting weren't versus Bounce flash and attach with Lightsphere,because original flash and studio lighting giving a strong shadows when someone wearing spectacle for taking portraiture.
No you can't...it is not recommended.





Use ordinary lights if you cannot get your hands on studio lights and a light meter. For this you would need to do a few test shots (if using digital) to determine the ISO speed which is best for the lights and your subject.
Flash = 1/5000th of a second


Constant light (like the lamp on your desk) = years or as long as you want.





So no.
