Hi guys,
I recently looked around this forum and found that these bees are so popular around here

Well,
I have Golden Eagle studio light and often use Profoto and planning on get D1 Air

The so popular Alienbees in here makes me curious and try to read some explanation
on the Web, but I'm confused with the terms Zeus, Power Packs, Ringflash, etc

Also the efective and non efective Ws confused me a lot,
Which Alienbees product performs output similar to Profoto Compact 600Ws ?
Is it AB800 or AB1600 with it's effective power ?

-edited-
It seems Zeus is a flashead with high powered, different purpose from standard Bees and both can be portable units with portable battery power

If the range 1 to 10 (10 is the highest),
Alienbees compare to Profoto (means class and quality),
what is the position of Alienbees ?
Is the power constant enough and reliable for on the field use ?

Sorry if I had to ask question that much, as I'm new hearing this bee buzz popularity around here and it seems so attractive with the color and price :D

Meanwhile I still reading the Bees Web
and found somethin about flashhead and portable batteries and try to understand the whole package :)
