from alienbees Summary: My style is to shoot using limited depth of field. I was debating whether to get the B800 or the B400. I got the B800 bc I was afraid of being short of power. I found the B800 was giving more light than I needed at the lowest power setting. I just got the B400 yesterday, and was testing it out when it failed on me (firecracker-like bang). I am sending it back for another one, and I am not concerned about it. But I was happy with the flexibility that the B400 gave me while it was working. I was able to shoot closer at lower aperatures, and if I needed the depth of field, I could shoot at full power. A footnote -in a non-photographic comparison, you are getting a Honda Civic compared to a Lexus. The light works well, and I would highly recommend it. Strengths: Lightweight, fast recycling, adjustable power settings and economical price. Weaknesses: None. Similar Products Used: Calumet Travelite 750. Alienbees B800. Customer Service: Simply the best. Called in about the light I had just received having problems. Without having to plead my case, advised me they would be sending a new one, before receiving the defective unit. Try getting that service from B & H.
