The Elinchrom D-Lite4 is an entry-level 400 watt/second monolight with a five f/stop power adjustment range. The power levels are clearly visible in digital readouts on the rear of the unit. It is lightweight, accepts a common household bulb as a modeling light, and recycles in 0.8 seconds at full power.
The D-Lite is also available as a 200 watt/second unit, known as the D-Lite2. The D-Lite Series monolights are also available in two light kits, which include reflectors, stands, softboxes and cases.

Comments about Elinchrom D-Lite4 Monolight - 400 Watt/Seconds (110-220VAC):
This light recharges fast and gives pretty consistent light. It's more than enough for a single person or a couple. I'd say it's power is rated well as opposed to some other cheaper lights which might be over speced. It's light enough to take with you on trips but it's build is a bit weak. If you take care of it, I'd image it would last fine. I was primarily concerned with the price and quality and it's great in this regard. I also wish it used larger shaft sizes instead of the smaller Elinchrom size.
