If you want quick, accurate repeatable results there really is no substitute for a hand held meter, measuring in the incident mode... period! It is a vital tool for the serious or pro photographer, just my 2p's worth I totally agree with this statement. A light meter not only provides better accuracy, it'll save time. Not only that, you just can't go by the image on the screen on the ba...

I have the Lastolite Lumen8 400w, three head kit and am very happy with it. Someone will, no doubt, recommend a kit from Elemental too, though I have no experience. The owner is a member of EPZ - many members have bought from him and highly recommend the kit and the service.

I have a lencarta kit & they are extremely sturdy (metal casings) got 2 lamps + spare bulbs/2 softboxes & stands for just over £200 delivered ( off ebay shop ) am happy with them :-)

Hi, I know i started this thread a very long time ago but I thought I'd let you know that I have purchased a 3 head Trinity set from Elemental, they are on back order but once here i shall post some of the results up. Regards James

Have you looked at Lastolite Lumen8s? I have a three head kit (400W) and am extremely happy with it. It came with 3 reflectors, 1 brolly, 1 softbox, 3 leads, 3 synch cables, one travel bag on wheels. It was a bit above your stated budget at £650 but you can get a 2 head kit for around £400 (comes with 2 brollies rather than a softbox and a brolly). The choice was made on the basis of having use...

Thanks Rick & Paul (I don't expect to need andy "Extras" myself but was interested in the context of this thread)

Hi Hamish. Well, I finally got my hands on my Studio Kit and am very impressed with what I ended up with :O) As you know, I attended two of Danny's studio meets to get a feel for both studio lighting in general and of course the elemental brand. Despite being extremely impressed by the elemental M series, I decided to go with their new Visico LR Digital range.. 3x 500w. I'll list be...

Hi Jason, I had a PM from Danny inviting me to try the lights out at his studio and I might just do that. Encouraging to hear your opinion as well and I agree they do look like good bits of kit. I am not in a rush to purchase which gives me plenty of opportunity to have a good look for what I want. Jim

Thanks for the offer Danny. Hopefully I won't love the M series kit too much while I wait for the G series to arrive... I shall drop an email soon. Customer service like this really does inspire confidence... no wonder Elemental is ever growing in popularity! Adrian

Danny, did you get my PM?

Thanks :) I won't be able to go to any meets or the showroom but I feel confident enough to order from their site now.

So, why is Bowens, a brand leader, any better than others?

Hi There, I hope you don't mind a silly question. How musch more powerful would the Elemental Genesis 2 kit - Twin 250Ws Studio Kit be over using 2 canon 580ex ii flash guns. ? I don't know if I should use speedlights with modifiers or these studio heads for my home studio. Thanks for any advice Trev

Well it depends on what kind of money you want to spend, also what kind of lighting you want. I recommend Westcott products because I believe they are the best and you really get great product and great quality! Hope this helps!
