Re: Elinchrom Studio Set

I'd buy it in a hearbeat. Elinchrom is some of the best lighting you can buy.

The heads are the lights themselves and 250 and 400 is the watts per second the lights can output. There's all sorts of technical stuff to explain it (and hopefully someone will) but one way to think of it is that it is like a guide number for your studio lights. Basically, the higher the number the more power and the faster recycling time.

This will be more than sufficient for studio work though you may, in time, wish to add a third light and softboxes instead of umbrellas.

Good for you and good luck.

I'm planning to buy this set:


What is 250 and 400 in the phrase "2 heads: 1x250 and 1x400"?

Watts? What do you think of the whole set in general? Is it sufficient for portraits? Food and jewelry photography?

I'm not a studio photographer so some things in this area are still baffling to me.

I've asked the seller already, but I'd like to get your opinion, too.
