Elinchrom LTD is a Swiss company manufacturing flash equipment and light shaping tools for professional photographers. The company was founded in 1962 in Renens, Switzerland.
Elinchrom produces compact flash heads, battery packs, continuous light accessories, remote controls, light shapers and other accessories.
Recently, Elinchrom moved their tooling for the Compact entry-level lights to India where they are now producing the D-Lite RX series. The professional compact series, the ELC Pro HD is manufactured in Switzerland.
Remote controllers include:
The continuous lighting uses tungsten bulbs with a colour temperature of around 3200 K instead of daylight-balanced (5500 K) flash tubes. All units accept the same range of light modifiers as the flash units, subject to the additional heat generated by the bulbs. The Scanlite range employs halogen bulbs.
Elinchrom supplies a range of lighting modifiers as accessories for their lights. Some accessories (such as umbrellas) attach to the light unit by means of a pole passing through a 7 mm hole through the head, and others (such as softboxes, reflector dishes and snoots) attach using Elinchrom's bayonet system.
