What is the difference between compacts and flash heads?

It might sound like a silly question, but I've been looking at the elinchrom catalog and I am really puzzled about this.

I tried a search on the web the other day and never found any info really relevant to this.

The units that you show in the images differ in that the top row are self contained strobes and the heads shown below require a power pack to make them work. They are just basically reflector, bulbs and cord that need to be hooked to something like the Ranger or Quadra system.

Oh, I see. Never heard of anybody using them. People seems to be using the Quadra or Ranger. I guess these flash heads are for really high end work where you need a lot of power.

After looking at the Elinchrom site, these heads seems to be for their studio packs and not the battery packs.
