I have a 1200A Balcar with three heads and a 1200 Ultra White Lightning. I've been using the Balcars since 1979! to buy another PowerPack which cost me $1400 in '79 would cost me over five grand now! The Pro Foto first of all has the best design I've ever seen - nice and compact. http://www.profoto.com/default.php They are made in Stockholm Sweden but somehow are priced very low. Amazingly low. Like my Balcar the Acute pack has a transformer and only pulls from my memory only 2 olms? out of your wall while just about any other will be pulling out 20. So no blown fuses with the Acute. I was told it "asks" for power instead of "demanding it." But Pro Foto does make other series of Powerpacks and lights. Lots of others.
