Strength:

Good even light spread in specular form. Good color temperature consistency. Unit design allows for easy maintenance and repair, although it is best handled by a well qualified professional.

Weakness:

Heads cannot be used mixed on single light pack unless they are of the same wattage rating. Usage of mixed head units will result in the weaker head drawing more power to it and blowing fuses, and in a worse case, popping the flash bulb resulting in a need for replacement. Bulbs can cost more than good reason to purchasing a complete unit ($300+ for the Mini A head replacement bulb).

Great light unit. Light spread very well laid out in a nice specular pattern, similar to a window light from the sun. Nice even coverage for background sweeps as well.

Customer Service

Great customer service, although slow at answering emails. Hard to find replacement parts available in most circumstances...
