Their specs seem quite good. Nice GN and power. Just have to wait till someone buys some or reviews them

hmmm, "recycling times as low as 1 second"

does that suggest to you that it's a second at the lowest power then? Wonder how long you have to wait after a full power burst.

It's still a medium wallop of light for a small dollop price isn't it.

I think in the specs it says that the recycle time is between 1-3 seconds, which means 1 second at lowest power, and 3 seconds at highest. (I think).

I guess the lights are ok, they take Elinchrom accessories, which is a good thing (though I am not really a fan of their beauty dish design). Worth a try if you want to buy new, or if you are happy to buy used, look for used Bowens or Elinchrom, either of which would be better I think.
