have 2 of these sets and they work perfect in my studio and on location shoots. The light, color, and exposure is dead on every single shot. These are powerful, well built, with all the features you could want.

I bought this kit a year ago on an advise of the sale clerk to buy this brand as a better quality product that is reliable and delivers a flash anytime you need... yeah, he was right at that! It has not disappointed me so far. Lights have fired all the time! They have longer charging time in the beginnig of shoot or when you pause shooting and then somehow charging time gets shorter during rapid shooting. Soon I realized that there is a drawback... during rapid shooting lights don't deliver the same results. Light levels vary and produce inconsistent color balance - mostly shifted in the cool spectrum. Images need a lot of postprocessing adjustment when changing from RAW files. Quite disappointing for the "swiss" product - it doesn't match the "swiss watch expectations"...

These are great lights for the price, but remember that they are Elinchrim's entry level lights and won't take the abuse that he high end lights will. The main use of these lights for me is travel, because of their weight, less than 3 lbs each. I was looking at other brands that cost more, were heaver and had less features. The only option missing on the D-lite 4 is a cooling fan, so just keep the modeling lights off when possible and they should last a long time.

This is a great package for the price. You get more than enough power with this package. I've shown this package to long time professionals in the business and they would trade in some of their more expensive equipment to have a package like this. It's got everything you need and it all packs back up in the carry cases that come with it. You're not going to find a better deal for a lighting set up than this.

The new D-Lite combine Elinchrom's legendary flash expertise with unsurpassed quality and lighting control to allow photography enthusiasts to experience advanced lighting technology without breaking the bank. Unlike other entry-level studio flashes, the Elinchrom D-Lite is designed to work perfectly with digital cameras.
They are extremely lightweight with a sleek compact design, and incorporate state-of-the-art features commonly found on higher-priced units. In addition, the D-Lites offer amateurs and enthusiasts alike something that other budget-priced studio flashes can't control.
Shooters can rest assured that each time the digitally-controlled flash is fired, the D-Lites will produce the same amount of light, at the same duration and same color temperature. The D-Lite 4 (400Ws) is a powerful Compact Flash Unit.
