Counting two B1600 units, two 580EX II, one Sunpak 383 and one Sigma Super, I'm at about 1,430 watt-seconds. Give or take. Wait. I forgot my Promaster 7500DX, Promaster 5500, and Canon 177A Speedlite. So that makes it about 1,482 watt-seconds. I guess. Aren't you glad you asked? Yeah, but are you shooting all of them at once? ...Leo

So far I have used only two Speedlites with the Alienbees. Before I got the bees, I used as many as six Speedlites at once. Did you mean flashes (generic term) as opposed to the Canon Speedlites (brand specific flashes)? Just asking because I saw another post where the term "speedlite" was used to refer to flashes in general. ...Leo

I use them with Intefit 3200s. I would like to sell the 3200s and go full strobe. Heat, pricy bulbs etc. people will always try to stop you doing the right thing if it is unconventional

The only real Speedlites I have are two 580EX II and one 177A. The rest are other brands. "If you're not having fun, your pictures will reflect that." - Joe McNally
