Great light!

Picked up the d2 as a 3rd light in my collection of b1/b1x's. I love how everything just works right out of the gate. The d2 fires fast and is a workhorse of a light. Extremely happy with the purchase!

It works flawlessly

I have two Profoto B1’s and was needing a third light, meant for studio use so I decided I’d go with the D2. It works flawlessly with my current setup and being able to stay plugged in is a nice advantage. I’m planning on buying a fourth light and it’ll be a D2.

Love it

I love it. Very consistent, strong modeling light, always ready to fire, never misses a beat. I also own two B1s, a B2 and an A1. I am incredibly with Progoto in general.

Excellent lights, very fast.

These lights are amazing and true work-horses. They are fast and bright. Love them. I use them everytime I'm in studio, and sometimes for hours at a time. They have built in fans that run constantly and keep the lights cool. Just keep that in mind if you like to keep your lights set-up, because you'll want to make to unplug them.
