Einstein*   - in the title.

I have four PCB Einstein lights. Two of them have their own carrying bags. But, I am looking to buy a bag that will fit all four lights, power cords, perhaps even the 7" reflectors, the small bag of four grids and a few other nick knacks ...   

Stands dont have to be in the same bag. I don't mind getting another bag for light stands, backdrop stands etc.

Paded? Wheels? Handle for pulling it on wheels? Adjustable interior partitions?

I am not sure if I want to spend on a Pelican.

Any suggestions from your experience?
Thanks in advance.

I would go pelican or think tank.

For now I carry all my gear in the original carry bags but they are becoming to many to take along

i have pelican. although I really hate the foam...

I got the kata case for 4 lights, plus power, and holds a couple of stands. wheels. perfect to put all my lighting in one case and then a separate one for camera gear.

If you don't mind used and ugly, check out a military outlet store. I scored three varying sized pelican cases just this week for about a third the cost of one of them new. They look like they have been to hell and back but there isn't one functional thing wrong with them. I don't even know what I'm going to do yet with the 1620 probably strobes, but it was part of the haggle. It has wheels and the extension arm and I couldn't be more giddy. I lined them with a greyish black yoga mat and spray glue. 12 dollars more.

They guy running the shop is even hiring me to shoot some hotties dripping with militia gear. SCORE!!

This is what I use.  It will hold 6 lights in their bags, plus some cords, medium softboxes and more.

However, when you load it up, it's very heavy.  Heck, it's very heavy EMPTY - 24 lbs.

Location lighting bags. I prefer Kata, but YMMV.
