Does anyone use a Pelican for two Quadra kits, or know which Peli would be a good fit?

I'll try and post an image of what I'm using for the kit. I got the stock case when I bought the kit, but I've got a pack that works better.

Thanks! I hope they don't differ in color temperature too much from my cheapo 160ws flashes. I'll hold on to them i little bit longer får background lighting and things like that.

I'm not worried about the elinchromes. I'm worried about my cheap Dörr 160ws's.

Quadra lithium details from Elinchrom....

If anyone's interested in a quadra set (with 39" deep octa), let me know!!
I know I'll regret selling them considering how neat a system it is, but the cash comes first for now

Nooo! They send the D-lite 2 instead of BXRi 250/250! >_<

That sucks. What did the invoice say.

I ordered from bostroms.nu. I got the D-Lite 2 it to go but in the delivery note it said BXRi 250/250 and oddly enough wrong company name (aifo instead of boströms). A bit angry I took a photo of the delivery note, package and sent it in an e-mail to boströms. Half an hour later, 21:00, I got an answer where they said the stock hotel (not sure about the english word for it) must have made a mistake and they would contact them first thing in the morning so they would send the correct package right away and a consignment note so I can send the wrong one back. Good service so far.

It sounds like it was miss picked in the warehouse. I'm glad it sounds like they'll take care of it.

Can someone please explain or verify what this email meant?
(I emailed Innovatronix why can't I plug in multiple Dlites with my Exp XT SE when other Dlite users can)
they wrote back:

-----------

The compatibility of multiple Elinchrom Dlites with Explorer XT SE is based on the monoblock's firmware.

If your monoblocks' firmware is r2 and above, you can plug in more than 2 DLites with Exp XT SE, even at full power.
If your monoblock's firmware is r1, we can only recommend one Dlite at full power, or 2 units but not at full power.

To check the firmware, plug your monoblock to a wall socket, turn it on and for a short period of time, it will display
(on the digital read out) an r-X value, where x is a number.
Monoblocks with firmware r2 and above are the newer ones.

-----------

I have yet to receive their answer on what's the difference of r1s and r2s.
I tried it and saw that mine is r1, it was less than a second and I never paid attention to it until i knew this.
When you try to power up your Elinchrom, do you see the same r-value? And what does yours say?

I'm just waiting for an e-mail with confirmation that they have packed and send the BXRis. Please please hurry.... I'm waaaaiiiting and time passes by so slow!
