The Elinchrom D-Lite RX 4/4 To Go is a mains-powered studio flash kit with two 400Ws heads, two softboxes, two stands, a hotshoe radio transmitter and two carrying bags. Digital Camera World named it the best softbox lighting kit overall, finding power adjustments very accurate, output consistent and recycling the fastest in its guide, and PhotoPlus magazine picked it as the winner of its group test for photographers with mains power. Photographer Rich Maciver, after ten months of use, praised its light weight and control but found the softboxes awkward to pack away. It suits portrait and studio photographers who want a dependable two-light flash setup; anyone working outdoors without mains power, or needing very low flash output, should look elsewhere.
- — Two 400Ws heads adjust in 1/10-stop steps from simple push-button controls
- — Accurate, consistent output and the fastest recycling in Digital Camera World's guide
- — Built-in radio receivers and a hotshoe transmitter allow remote power changes
- — Minimum power is still fairly strong, with a five-stop range
- — Mains power only, so no use away from a socket
- — Supplied softboxes don't fold down; the poles have to be taken out
