New Marelux Apollo Y strobes

Marelux has recently introduced the budget friendly ($549.00) Apollo Y strobes, the third strobe in the Apollo line. This is a very travel friendly strobe that uses 21700 or 18650 batteries.

I have been shooting these strobes for a few weeks without using any diffusers with both macro and wide zoom lenses. I have attached a few images to illustrate the Apollo Y performance.
