Elinchrom D-Lite RX One is a compact mains-powered studio flash for photographers who want more control, more precision and more light than a traditional Speedlight can offer. D-Lite RX One is particularly well suited to smaller studios, home studios and flexible setups where you want to work quickly, consistently and with access to Elinchrom’s broad range of light shaping tools.
More control in a compact format
Elinchrom D-Lite RX One is designed for photographers who want to move from on-camera flash to a more refined lighting workflow. With 100 Ws of power and adjustment down to 6 Ws, it gives you a useful range for portraits, product photography, content creation and smaller setups where precision matters more than raw output.
The short flash duration helps you achieve sharper images, while the stable colour temperature makes it easier to work consistently throughout a shoot. For photographers who want to fine-tune the light without slowing down the workflow, 1/10-stop adjustment gives you more precise exposure control.
Built for small studios and flexible workflows
Elinchrom D-Lite RX One is especially effective in smaller spaces or when working with wider apertures for shallow depth of field. Its broad power range makes it easier to adapt the light to your subject, distance and light shaper without compromise.
The adjustable modelling light helps you see how the light falls before you take the shot. That makes setup faster and gives you better control over shadows, contrast and direction.
The built-in thermostatically controlled fan supports reliable performance during longer shoots, so you can keep working with confidence even during more demanding sessions.
A natural part of the Elinchrom system
One of the main strengths of Elinchrom D-Lite RX One is its full compatibility with Elinchrom light shapers and accessories. This gives you access to a wide range of reflectors, softboxes and other tools to shape light the way you want it.
For you, this means more than compatibility. It means you can start simple and expand within the same system as your needs grow. The equipment adapts to your workflow, not the other way around.
Wireless control that simplifies the workflow
Elinchrom D-Lite RX One features built-in Skyport for wireless flash triggering and remote control. With a compatible transmitter, you can trigger the flash and adjust power remotely, making it easier to work efficiently without moving back and forth between camera and flash.
For more advanced workflows, support is available for control from computer and smartphone through the Elinchrom ecosystem. This gives you a clearer overview when working with multiple units and helps you stay focused on the image and the light rather than the surrounding technology.
The built-in Eye-Cell slave function also makes it easy to use D-Lite RX One alongside other flash systems. This makes it a practical addition for photographers who already work with Speedlights and want more power and more options for shaping light.

Compare Elinchrom D-Lite RX One and D-Lite RX 4
Elinchrom D-Lite RX One is a strong choice for smaller studios, portraits and setups where low weight, simple handling and good control matter most.
