Q: 1. Would this work nicely on the AD600 and AD200?

A: This Medium Apollo will pair nicely with the AD200. I would suggest using it with the bare bulb in a rear facing position to maximize the spread of light in the modifier. The size of the AD600 and therefore the fit inside the box may not make it ideal unless you use the accessory H600b remote head.

Q: 10. IP54 WX rating... that is the same as Bron Kobold HMIs yes? Will this hold up in hurricane conditions like the Bron?

A: No. IP54= Ingress of dust is not totally prevented but dust does not enter in harmful quantities to interfere with the correct operation or impair safety of the unit. The unit can take Low pressure spray from any angle for about 10 minutes – commonly referred to as splash proof but I wont go as far to say it is hurricane proof.
