I have use the Versalight 200 in my studio for about a year now and have had no porblems. I like the balance of the light on the stand and the ease of use of the know that tightens the light when you change lighting positions from up to down. I like the built in slave and ease of use of the power settings. I have bought two more since and plan to buy more. I have been a portrait photographer for forty years and have been through a lot of lights. The Versalight is now one of my most used lights.
