The Impact Octacool-9 Fluorescent 2-Light Kit with Octabox (9 Lamps) is a great choice for the photographer or videographer seeking a broad, flattering light source with unique fall-off characteristics for portraiture, fashion, or events.
Octagonal-shaped light sources have long had a reputation as the preferred portrait-shooter's light source. The shape offers an especially large surface area which produces that legendary wrap-around light, which envelopes the subject while creating natural-looking catchlights in the eyes.
The kit is comprised of two separate 9-lamp Octacool light heads and removable Octaboxes, and two light stands. Each of the provided daylight-balanced 27-32W (depending on supply) lamps outputs 1400 lumens of light for a total of 12,600 lumens measured at 3.3 feet. Five switches on the rear of the fixture allow individual control of lamps allowing 1-9 of them to be switched on or off, varying output in 1400 lumen increments. The head's standard 5/8" receiver mounts to a huge variety of light stands and gripware with 5/8" studs.
The included Octaboxes have removable inner baffles and front faces allowing even greater flexibility from hard to ultra-soft light. Each light head also comes with a removable aluminum reflector for a bright, contrasty lighting option. Two sturdy 9.5' air-cushioned light stands round out the kit.
