THE LIGHT FANTASTIC
Photographic lighting comes in all shapes and sizes these days, so what’s the best fit for you?
ELINCHROM D-LITE RX 4/4 TO GO £769/$800
A powerful, immaculately engineered mains-powered studio kit, Elinchrom’s D-Lite takes a lot of beating
HOW WE TEST
We measure light output through the available power ranges and more besides
RECYCLING SPEED
Quick-shooters may need to pause for thought when you get to those higher power settings
ELINCHROM ELB 500 TTL TO GO SET £1599/$1900
Based on the first Elinchrom flash head to harness IGBT technology, it’s an epic battery-powered kit
IGBT IS THE WAY FORWARD
Most current battery-powered flash kits now use IGBT technology

The ‘unleashed’ edition of the Honey Badger takes Interfit’s show on the road with clip-in batteries
TRIGGER HAPPY
A radio frequency trigger delivers more than just convenience

POWER TO THE PEOPLE
Invest in optional batteries and you can use an LED panel anywhere
NEEWER 660S £74/$76

SUPPORTING ROLES
You’ll need to buy stands for location flash kits and LED panels
ROTOLIGHT AEOS £750/$995
This versatile, up-market LED panel has pro-spec build quality but is a fairly bare-bones affair
BI-COLOUR PANELS
Change the colour of your lighting to suit the ambience
COMPARISON TABLE
