Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO CONTINUOUS LIGHTING UMBRELLA KIT + Free 27 Watts 5500K Fluorescent Photo Lamp Bulb
Customer Review: More than satisfied
Summary: 5 Stars
I was hesitant to make this purchase after reading some of the reviews, but it seemed that for every negative, there was an extremely pleased positive. I'm so glad I decided to go for it.
I was shocked when the Fed X truck arrived less than 48 hrs from the time I purchased it! I had nothing broken or rusted. Everything was packaged nicely. No instructions were needed to assemble it, and everything fit perfectly! I had it opened and put together in under 5 minutes! Im SO pleased with this purchase.
I am not using this light for photography. I purchased it to use as a minimalist floor lamp. I have to agree that for photographers, you might want to purchase a brighter bulb. For me though, this is beyond my expectations.
I love this purchase and will probably get another one.
Customer Review: OK product (arrived broken), but customer service is AWFUL
Summary: 2 Stars
This product works as well as expected for the money. It is good for a little fill light-- what I needed for a recent product shoot. Light stand is very, very flimsy and cheap.
Customer service from the seller is AWFUL. The light stand arrived broken and rusted (obviously a used product, even though it was advertised as "new"), I sent them an email, they replied almost two weeks later and said they would have to file a claim with the shipper (which is ridiculous, considering the packaging was sound-- obviously they sent me a bum light stand. I've not heard anything since, nor have I received a replacement light stand.
I would not recommend buying from this seller.
Customer Review: Basic but with some problems
Summary: 3 Stars
When the package arrived, it said "Photography Eqipment" on the box. The missing "u" from "equipment" made me worry. Opening up the box, I found everything packed quite nice. However, all the screws in the frame were completely rusted. I've replaced them myself instead of going through the hassle of dealing with this company. I have since used this for 10 studio portrait shoots with varying degrees of success. For adults portraits, this set produces adequate light (I purchased 2 and use one as a main light and one as a fill light), but for shooting high energy children it isn't powerful enough unless you shoot at a higher ISO and risk a grainy photo.Customer Review: Great Umbrella Light Kit for the Price!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have to say that I was slightly skeptical of this product before I ordered it. The reviews seem mixed and the price on it was pretty inexpensive, but I went ahead and ordered it and I am SO glad that I did. The Umbrella Light Kit arrived in about a week and it is a well-made product that was easy to put together. The only downside is the free bulb that is included is way too dim to take pictures with, so I just ordered 2 new photo bulbs. Other than that minor thing, it's great for a home studio where you need some extra lighting. It even includes a handy on/off switch so that you don't have to unplug it from the wall everytime.Customer Review: Lighting Umbrella
Summary: 3 Stars
Although eventually got it to work on my own, there were no instructions included for the product. Frustrating and caused communications to the company, who eventually corrected the YouTube instructions.
The most important part of this review is the way in which Steve Kaeser & Co. handled my complaint and previous rating. There was eventually rectification of the problem and a very generous offer for my trouble. This company and it's representatives really know how to maintain customer loyalty.
Thanks to Alex for the follow-up and to Steve for approving a resolution.
