I'm not sure what these are, although they look older? The two tube shaped lights in photos 1 and 2.

Profoto Compact 600 or 1200Ws (hard to tell from image) monolights. These have Pocket Wizard radio receivers (trigger only, no power changing) built in (tell by the short antennas on back), but they will accept any radio trigger.

Old school AC-powered lights. Heavy, fast recharging and last forever. Note: If you adjust the power down, you need to pop the flash to dump the excess charge - they don’t ‘auto dump’

Okay so pretty old. I probably wouldn't use them then.
They're on an auction about an hour from me. Maybe if I got the whole lot for 20 or 30 bucks it would be a good flip? Maybe too old for even that.

Assuming those actually work (which would be doubtful), they may have some value as repair parts. There was also a 300W compact model. Not exactly top-tier for Profoto.

Softbox could be worth it though. Depending on whether need a softbox of that size.

I found this video:



I'm trying to remember, but I think I used these in photo school.
