Vela Labs

The Vela One is the fastest flash you can buy. The pulse width is adjustable between 500ns (1/2,000,000 sec) and 5µs (1/200,000 sec), which is fast enough to freeze a high velocity rifle bullet in flight. Lamb Industries worked with Vela Labs to create an enclosure that is user-friendly, robust, and communicates the company's distinctive brand.

An important consideration was cost-effective manufacture. The project was successfully funded via Kickstarter and due to this its specialist nature volumes are reasonably low. By specifying rotational molding and a fabricated aluminium chassis, we created a distinctive aesthetic and professionally tough design for the product without the need for expensive tooling.
