How powerful are these when compared to Alien Bees (or to speedlights)? Anyone ever tested these with a flash meter at 10 feet?

These are, in my experience, about half a stop less powerful than the alien bees 400. Their recycle time is faster than speedlites at full power but a bit slower than the bees. I personally haven't tested range.

I love them and they work with nikon and I use them with alien bees and you can adjust the light from the camera with them.

Compared to other lights I shot a model at 20ft.and it stood toe to toe with other lights I have used alien bees, Novatons, elinchomes I was satisfied with the light.

Hi Derrick Lightforce RMDL170HT 12Volt has 350,000 candle power output (1 lux @ 650 m) with a Xenophot bulb. Lightforce does not provide actual distance specs. Lightforce uses filters to direct the beam. They have a spot beam which would provide the greatest forward distance, they have the combo beam that provides side to side angle and foward looking, and a wide angle beam. The filters also come in different colors. Thanks Truckcustomizers.com 800-497-1780

Ya. I wouldn't get them. They burn out quick! And they don't work well with low load flasher units.

Check with Rogue directly on this, so many speedlights out there right now they would be the best to inform you.

I've used these lights during three hour rides in daylight and had a strong output throughout. I had them on the strobe/slow-flash modes during daylight hours. I was impressed how well I could see my wife's lights from a distance, both front and back.

They are very difficult to light. Once lit, they fly off into the atmosphere & we watch them until out of site.We only use them in the desert as they can be a fire hazard. Unlit, i still have some from 2 yrs ago & they r still good

Wattage is not an issue. I've had some almost double. But do not waste your money on these. The low beams only last about a month max and within a few days the foil tips will start to peel.

I found the same thing to be true. They were great at first, so bright I couldn't let my two year old grandson play with them, too bright for his eyes but in less yhan a week they were useless, barely lit up.

These are made to use with speed lights. I think the alien bee head would be too large.. I use the box often. It's easy to set up.

Absolutely. Uses the same speedring attachment as other alien bee lighting. This softbox is decently made, but be aware that there are two velcro straps that allow you to slide out two of the support legs when assembling and taking apart. I like the product

All I know is that it is brighter than the original. Actual power not sure .I haven't tested it. I don't know how long they last as it hasn't been in for very long . Say 500km ish . sorry can't be more help. There is another brand with a yellow type looking globe . These fall apart real fast .

I've been using the 2000 mAh rechargeable Amazon brand for a month now. They work very well. I did a three hour shoot with two SB910s and one SB800. Approximately 300 shots. Speedlights remained powered on/standby the entire time. When I put the batteries on the charger, they were still almost half charged. The ones in the SB800 were a little lower, but not by much. Go to the following link to see these batteries: AmazonBasics AA Rechargeable Batteries (16-Pack)

Sorry, I returned this flaslight. Ckeck out youtube . There are several reviews which include the distance it throws light. It is not as far as you might think.

Sorry I can't help you there. I just read that they take almost no power, compared to the regular bulb. I put them in two different areas of the MH and basically saw no difference in output of the lights. But I have to believe that I'm using at least 50% less power to get the same light. hope this helps.

All of the Coyboystudio 4-channel units work together. That being they only trigger flash units. They do not vary the output of dedicated speed lights. I use mine to fire studio strobes and they do a great job. They will fire speedlights just as well but in manual mode.Oh, and despite that James said, mine are very reliable and work incredibly well for such an inexpensive system.
