With more than 55 years of experience in lighting manufacturing, Ailinglong is also a legendary brand in the photography industry, and its standard interface has been used by many domestic photographic equipment manufacturers. In 2015, Ailelong, together with Phottix in Germany and SEKONIC in Japan, reached a cooperation alliance to launch a new universal standard for wireless lighting equipment, which not only facilitated the collaboration between the three companies in different devices, but also continuously attracted other brand manufacturers to use the new standard.
Ailinglong is more popular in the Chinese market, and its sales volume ranks first among imported photographic lighting brands. However, in recent years, many cost-effective Chinese brands have risen, and many European and American lighting manufacturers have been greatly impacted, and the once classic brand Baorong announced the discontinuation of production in 2017, and Ailinglong has also been silent for a while. At the 2017 China International Photographic Machinery and Imaging Equipment and Technology Expo, Ailinglong released the excellent ELB 1200 exterior shooting lamp, which re-entered people's field of vision.
The price of Ailinglong's products in the market is more affordable because it has set up a factory in India, which has greatly reduced labor costs. Although the products of Ailinglong are tested for 48 hours before leaving the factory, they still have a high failure rate in high-load working environments.
Ailinglong only has flash products, which can be divided into two lines: entry-level and advanced, such as the recently launched D-LITE series is the main entry market, the price is only 5000 yuan, and the ELC series for the advanced market is also controlled below 8000 yuan. The D-LITE series is small as a whole, priced at only 2980 yuan, with complete functions and built-in intelligent light sensors, which is a portable light filling device in the hands of many professional photographers.
For professional photographers, the D-LITE series has a limited output power, while the slightly more powerful BRX series also has the portability of the D-LITE. The BRX is available in 250J or 500J models, which are suitable for shooting small goods as well as some moving objects. If you have more advanced needs, you can buy the studio professional ELC series, you can choose 500J or 1000J power, although the recycle time and flash duration performance is not as good as Brown and other products priced at tens of thousands of yuan, but the price of less than 8000 yuan is enough to make it the king of this price range.
Compared with the top three brands, Ailinglong products have a slightly stronger sense of plastic, durability is average, and the comprehensive selling price is still a cost-effective brand worth buying.
