I've been using Paul Buff products for over 15 years and I'll be honest with you... I've been considering getting rid of my PB lights lately because I'm constantly having problems with them keeping consistant output at lower power levels. Sometimes I will move a softbox in close to the model and with it being that close I don't need a lot of power. When I start dialing down the power to low output levels, my meter jumps all over the place. I'll hold the meter in the same spot and meter the light and a few seconds later meter it again and it could (and does) fluxuate from a few 10th's of a stop up to 1/2 stop. 1/2 stop might not be much for a guy who is shooting amateur type shit but I'm trying to shoot a higher quality so 1/2 stop variance of exposure is enough to piss me off bad. I've sent all of my units in at least once for a checking out but they are still giving me problems so it's just a matter of time before I get rid of them and move on to a more reliable and dependable lighting kit.
