Josh, thanks for the input. After talking to the Dyna-Lite reps it sounds like it is possible

to run a 1600ws head off the XP1100, but they do not recommend it. However, my new

question is about the noise it makes while powering up. Is it loud? Is it annoying?

Furthermore, I need to do a bit more research, but please contact me if you're interested in

selling the battery pack on its own. photo@theimagewell.com

Thanks, Morris.

I'm looking to buy a portable lighting system for location portraiture. I've used the Ranger

Rx in the past, but I'm thinking Dyna-Lite's XP1100 w/ 1600w White Lightenings would be

a cheaper and more versitile alternative. I like the idea of having just one set of lights, but

my question is this: Can you use 1600ws heads with the XP1100? Or will the light only put

out 1100 ws? Furthermore, will I damage the battery pack? My reason for wanting the

extra power is that I do group portraits outside in summer daylight. Also, for the cost

difference, is the XP1100 that much better than the Vagabond?...OR should I just suck it

up and get a Ranger, or Porty?

Thank you for any advice that you can spare!!!

Morris.
