Hadn't thought of that. Having 2x 400W might be too much in a small space, given that there's a minimum power level they can be set to.
I've got a set of D-Lite 4s and can't see this being much of an issue, I find that at ~3/5ths power I can shot at ISO100, f11, 1/160th which seems fine to me. Surely if they were over powering you can just adjust camera settings to get the exposure right. A flash meter does make setting them up very easy so it would be worth getting one if your budget allows (though they can be set up without one).
