Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO CONTINUOUS LIGHTING UMBRELLA KIT + Free 27 Watts 5500K Fluorescent Photo Lamp Bulb
Customer Review: okay, but not enough watts
Summary: 3 Stars
I wanted something that worked. Something that was inexpensive. Something that would let me experiment with studio lighting techniques. This product is all of that, but there's one big problem: it's not nearly bright enough. 26w fluorescent bulbs are, what, equal to a 100w incandescent bulb? That's not enough. You'll be using the window light and cranking your ISO up higher than you imagined necessary on a supposedly lighted shot.
if you're excited about this product, I recommend spending another few bucks to get something with a little higher wattage.
Customer Review: Good for a fill light
Summary: 3 Stars
I was hoping that if I liked this light I could buy another for a fill light and be done with it. Sadly, it's just not bright enough to be the primary light source; at least not with the bulb it comes with. Maybe if I replaced the bulb with something higher wattage it would be OK. I'll still use it as a fill light, but am going to buy a different light to be my primary. It just didn't make enough of a difference. For an inexpensive light the quality is fine, though- I didn't have any problems with the quality, though it would have been nice to include instructions.Customer Review: Exploratory Photography
Summary: 5 Stars
I have always been into photography and lately want to expand my goals. This simple and cheap lighting kit was something I wanted to check out with the fact that I could experiment because it was so cheap. This review is being written from my second purchase of the lighting kit. I was unsure of the low wattage bulb that was offered with it but it, along with the umbrella kit is just fine. I purchased a background stand from here as well and now with this equipment...I need to upgrade my camera!!!Customer Review: Good Product, VERY Reasonably Priced
Summary: 4 Stars
Product is a bit on the "light" side as far as construction goes which is all that prevents it from getting 5 stars from me. Comes well packaged and with a bit of common sense goes together easily. Would be best to get another brighter lamp to go with the one that comes with it. For soft side lighting this light is good but I find that coupling it with a programmable flash is necessary for solid light control.
For photography on a slim budget this is a fine buy.
Customer Review: Great light kit for a fabulous price
Summary: 5 Stars
There's really nothing I can complain about here. The price I paid for this complete light kit was a fraction of what I often see them advertised for. It was delivered quickly and it sets up easily, comes with a long-life CFL bulb and provides nice studio light that helped me take tremendous photos of my models. Moreover, it is so lightweight that it can be moved and repositioned effortlessly. This is a fine complement to other studio lighting that you may have.
