It is 8x more powerful (2 stops brighter) than a typical Speedlight. This falls neatly into the Quantum Qpax territory, however the Quantum system offers full TTL functionality with Nikon, Canon and Hasselblad among others. The Quantum kit is expandable up to 800Ws too. The USP must be an inter connectivity with other Elinchrom accessories. If you shoot location portraits this might just be the kit for you.
