Outstanding flexibility. Infinitely variable 5 stop power adjustment is truly superb and not only excellent for film photography but excellent for digital studio work. Telephone cord based remote system is the best on the planet!

none that I can think of

You cannot go wrong with these lights. I've been using them for years, and have not had one complaint. While I've recently upgraded one light to an UltraZAP, I have several other of the original Ultra series, and they give me excellent results day after day. I can think of no other photo equipment that I've owned that has been this consistently excellent!

Customer Service

ABSOLUTELY THE BEST THERE IS!!
I had one of the very first Ultra units from Paul C Buff. The unit developed a problem one evening while I was shooting. I called them the next morning and explained the problem. I had a loaner unit the very next day, which kept me going while mine was being repaired.

durable, well built metal case. Strong and flexable modeling light. Constant set output.

no fan (if needed, get the x series version, if setting to a lower fstop you need to dump excess power.

Picked up the SP series for something to use at an affordable price.I studied different monolight systems and talked to other photographers for 2 years before deciding on the White Lighting ultra zap 1600. It is a little on the expensive side, but the quality and durability that the White Lightening offers is well above the overall price. I used it at a workshop for 8 hours straight and it preformed better than I ever expected. IMHO you can't go wrong with this system. *** as corny as this sounds as soon as I write this review I will be ordering another one. The 2400***.

Reliability and customer service..It is wonderful...these units pack a lot of power for your money too

Early units didn't dump power without you kicking the flash and the reflector system wan't real easy to take off and on but they have corrected these very minor problems and the new x2400 is perfect. I still use my old ones...Basically they have no weaknesses that amount to anything

I have used Ultra 1200's for over 10 years without problems. I use one on a tall lightstand for group pictures as well as small groups. I just purchased an X2400 and it is smaller yet more powerful. These units give you more bang for the buck than anything available. Don't waste your time looking...these are the best you can buy and they will probably last longer than you will. They are indestructable and super reliable.Customer service is wonderful and friendly as can be. I lost a screw for the umbrella holder and they sent me one free. I lost a screw for the reflector holder and they sent me some free. I sound like I work for them but I don't...I'm just a very happy user and they are a superb company in Nashville.

Customer Service

The best in the industry in my opinion
