    Great Value!

    You can't beat the value this light kit offers! I needed to take some headshot pictures for our office. Didn't want to spend a ton of money and this kit did the trick. Very easy to set up and does exactly what I need. The only feedback I have is that the picture is a bit misleading. I thought the reflector arm attached to the stand while the light was also also attached (making a T shape). I didn't realize that you had to choose between the light or the reflector. You will still need another stand to use the arm for the reflector.

    solid light for the price!

    light works well and is pretty simple to use, id recommend getting a wireless transmitter bc the sync cord is kinda weird. also be aware of which kit you're getting, i was not aware that i wasnt getting a stand so i had to go buy one separately

    Great for the price!

    One of the best priced kits out there especially for studio lighting beginners like me. The only issue I had was that the softbox was hard to set up and the sync cable did not connect to my Sony so I had to spend an additional $100 on a transmitter/receiver kit

    I was expecting more

    Right off the bat the softbox broke at the corners when I tried to get the rods in place to set it up. Also, the rods are extremely hard to get on the softbox. It’s took me almost an hour with directions. The manual directions weren’t helpful my advice is to find a YouTube video to help you.

    Not the most powerful, but this is a great addition to a small home studio. Soft box is quick and easy to set up and attach.

    I brought the kit to replace one of my EX-100A strobe units. The reflectors and extension mount have come in rather handy with doing portrait work. Great for use with foam core for reflective fill lighting.

    Great small studio light

    I have three of these now, and all have performed flawlessly over the past 15 years or so. Not the most powerful strobe you can buy, but for a small home studio, they are perfect. Unlike some reviewers, I found the soft box to be easy to assemble, but the connection to the strobe could be a little more secure.

    question

    5600 k or tungsten?
    Asked by: Harvey
    I didn't need bags because the lights stay in one central location, the studio. I had no plans of traveling with this light kit.

    question

    I was just wondering if anyone has replaced the modelling lamp with an LED light bulb? I imagine you could get a lot more light output from an LED bulb, especially a cree bulb. I understand it would have to be the dimmable variety...
    Asked by: Anonymous
    Tried it with a run of the mill home depot LED bulb, terrible flickering at all output settings. The LED bulbs were not dimmer compatible, but I think the dimmer electronics are too crude to work well with LED bulbs.
