The question of whether or not PW or Cybersync work with a certain light is really not the quetsion since both are a trigger. The question is which cable do you need to connect the trigger with the light/stobe/speedlight. Check out zebracables.com for odd cables if needed. PW cables are way overpriced. An adapter or cable is $5 to $25.
I had to buy a H connector for my Novatron lights. Neither PW or CS came with that cable. They both "work' with the system it's simple a matter of getting the right cable to connect them.
The fun stuff is getting the cables so your triggers will fire your remote camera. Or multiple camera at once. If you get into firing a remote camera with strobes you do need to get the high end PW so you sync for the delays. The high end PW you can program timing. Nice, but they cost a lot for each transmitter and how often do you need that feature. |

Marlene if you go with the PW let me know. I was able to find the cables that work for about $4 each. If I remember right I got a pack of 4 for something like $15. I will send you a set. If I can find where I got them (I think it was E-Bay) I will send you the link. |

Just be sure that you have higher than the standard 8ft ceiling, 10ft or more is better.
Good choice on the PW's, never had a problem with mine, and they are simple to use. |
