Neewer 700W Equivalent Softbox Lighting Kit, 2Pack UL Certified 5700K LED Lighting Bulbs, 24x24 inches Softboxes with E26 Socket, Photography Continuous Lighting Kit Photo Studio Equipment

I love these lights. I take photos of clothing for my business, and these do the job well. Very good value for the cost. The lights sometimes seem a bit too bright for what I use them for, but the color is a nice, bright white. They're what you think of when someone says "professional lighting." I've been able to catch flaws on clothing items with these that I otherwise could not see. If you're using these to take photos or videos of people, these do a great job at lighting up the space. They aren't difficult to set up or disassemble and don't take up too much room. I've had to move locations with these and they pack up well with the bag these lights come with. Other lights I've tried come with USB plug-ins, but these come with classic power cords for the wall, which was also a huge plus for me.

I occasionally need some controlled diffused lighting and these seemed like a good choice. The stands and reflectors are fine and should last well enough with some care. They fold up compactly but I'll store them in a plastic storage container they are, at least for myself, more convenient than the zippered pouches. Plus they are stackable and labelable. For an occasional user, I wish someone would allow the reflector to be folded without removing the bulb. The bulb socket feels ceramic so that's good, but I did have to bend the center pin up a bit to make contact with the center contact of the bulb. Minor point but you might check this (unplugged, of course) if your light does not work. The lights themselves are fine. 5700k is a tad on the cool side of pure white. Personally I like the warmer side but my camera has the ability to set the white balance to 5700k and the results seem fine. General color rendition is good but I feel like the greens are a tad muted. Again, just my personal observation and preferences. On the plus side, a sequence of 1/8000-second photos produced very closely exposed images indicating a these lights are reasonably flicker free. No banding has been seen on video. And when the power is switched off, the light fades out suggesting a large capacitor to filter the power to reduce flicker. Light output is fair. Sure, a longer shutter speed is always there. What I ended up doing is buying two more matching LED bulbs and using light bulb splitter adapters doubled the light output. This was a good move has it reduced my shutter speed and gives me options to place the lights further away. So, if you will need these occasionally, these would be fine with care. If you are going to set them up and leave them up, you'll probably be good. Everyday setup and take downs by a travelling photographer, well, you'll just have to take really good care of them. And don't forgot about the double light idea. BT recommended with care

I received the dual kit today which I bought with a $10.50 discount. Which means for $65.38 I got two lights with stand, the hood and the cover to make it a softbox light. I agree this is not professional equipment. However, for $65.00 I wouldn't be able to buy one complete professional softbox. In fact, I would probably need to spend at minimum another $100 just to get the cheapest professional gear. All that being said. I am not a professional but an amateur and I do this mostly as a hobby. I am very happy to have two of these lights and I am happy to say that mine came packed expertly and everything came in full working order. I love that it all has a carrying case and that the light bulbs came inside a box with molded Styrofoam. I am very satisfied and I have to say after testing it on some self portraits today, I am very satisfied. What I really like about this is that I can remove the cover of the softbox and almost use it as an umbrella light. I uploaded some self-portraits and a view of the setup. The first photo with the softer tones it's the softbox with the cover and the second without the cover. I also show the setup with the light off and on. If you are looking for a sturdy, professional equipment which will stand the test of time. This is probably not the equipment you want. If you are an amateur or beginning and have a limited budget then this will probably serve you well, provided you take care of it. A note of caution. When extending the legs there is a sweet spot where the legs have the most spread. Below or above that spot the area the legs spread is smaller and may cause the equipment to fall over. See the images for what I mean. The way the stand works is almost like how an umbrella opens and so you'll have to take care to make sure leave about 3 to 4 inches from the bottom of the pole to the junction of the legs (see images for visual).

Je suis très satisfaite de mon achat.

Lights work great, but one of the diffusers was missing and the company wouldn't take care of me because I opened the box after the 30 days.
