The yellow "Mr. Longarm" is light and comfortable to hold.
off topic but is it true the Ranger RX's require a tech to replace the flash tube?

Yeah, they say it's not user-replaceable, but I've been looking and found this: No it's pretty easy to replace. All you have to do is take out the screws in the back of the head. When you pull that back the outer cover will start to open up and slide back also. There's two screws holding each leg of the flash tube in. Loosen those and the bulb comes right out. Slide the new one in and tighten. Voila! It's a little difficult getting the outer case to fit back where it should as you put it back together, you kind of have to squeeze it together as you put the back into place. Note that I haven't done this. and thank you from everybody to help me know and see the light stick options.. this POTN Elinchrom family is great Great resource, good fun. cheers, juice (Canon shooter, Elinchrom lighter, but pretty much agnostic on brands.)

Seeing Brendan and Jeff's Maxilite, I ordered the Maxilite from Amazon. Going to beach next week for bikini calendar shoot and may need the extra stop of light. Most likely will be my only beach shoot for a long time since I'm pretty lazy  this Maxilite has the polished surface, so maybe it's a Maxispot  Peter
