Not 100% sure, but pretty damn near it that they are different.

Some Interfit lights are the same as Elinchrom (not to be confused with Ektachrome ) but they also make some heads with Bowens S-type fittings. If it looks like Elinchrom though, it is.

Wow you live & learn. I stand corrected.

You certainly do...

I havent used these as much because I thought they were a weird fitment...

Need to get them out more...(the lights before anyone comments otherwise [Busta])...!!!

Just to clarify only the EX and EXD ranges use the same type as Elinchrom, and IMO for light use they are very good value.
