Really impressed with these lights. I currently own two Lowell Rifa lights LC-66 (750 watt each) which are tungsten and I was needing a daylight option for some upcoming shooting that is planned. Just unpacked these and I am quite surprised at what you get for the money. Put the bulbs in turned them on and let them warm up for awhile and I am very happy with the results. As a few have mentioned, the weak point is the stands, but they will suffice, and I have other Manfrotto stands that can be used if necessary. I always use sand bags anyway.
These lights are plenty durable for average use, if you are going to be using these lights every day, I would suggest looking at some of the professional options such as kinoflo etc. instead. Lowell does make a modification kit for my Rifa lights that will allow them to take both CFL and Tungsten bulbs, but the Lowell modification kit does not come with bulbs or the necessary add-on to even mount the CLF's to the modified light AND costs more than two of these full kits combined.
A few additional positive notes:
The support ribs used inside the softbox are metal.
The softbox shroud can be mounted tall or wide depending on your preference, just by turning it 90 degrees when installing it on the base.
The bulbs put out a nice daylight balanced color and look to be pretty accurate regarding color rendering (no cast to my eye).
Interior secondary clip on diffuser (included) helps spread the light and make nice and soft once the main diffuser is added.
What could be better (minor grips):
I would like it if the softbox was more square, thus it would be a little larger.
The stands could have less plastic.
Would be nice if the cord was a little longer.
I will be using these lights this weekend for some interview setups and will report back on any issue I experience. So far, I see no reason not to give them a 5 star rating.
I am truly happy with the purchase, and I can rarely say that about my cheap purchases. Thanks to the manufacturer for providing such a decent product at a reasonable price point.
Yes, I would recommend this CFL softbox lighting kit to a friend. Great value!

| Great For: | A powerful single-light kit, a great entry point into studio lighting, and a great addition to your existing kit. A single light source such as this is a great way to learn about the characteristics of light before investing in larger setups. | With 2 extra lamps and an additional 450W equivalent output, this single-light kit gives you extra flexibility when working with larger subjects and increased ambient light. | A standard 2-light kit with enough power for most applications. Great for YouTube tutorials, twitch livestreaming, studio portraits, headshots, & product photography. | Using the high-powered 85W lamps, this ultra-bright 2-light kit is ideal for larger sets with bright ambient light. | With double the output of our 45W lamps and three light sources, this kit gives you plenty of power! This kit is ideal for evenly lighting large groups and combatting bright ambient light. Great for creating photo and video content on larger sets. | The boom arm in this kit is a unique feature. This kit allows you to place a light above your subject to separate them from the background. Perfect for YouTube tutorials, Twitch livestreaming, studio portraits & headshots, and product photography. |

Amazingly Bright High-Quality Softbox Light
Wow! I bought this light to test out as an ambient light for painting and it is really amazing! I will be doing overhead videos with a mounted camera and the colors of my paintings are so much more accurate now that I have this light on them instead of the halogen lights I was using before (ceiling lights).The light came well-packaged and protected with plenty of packing air. Everything is really high-quality. The metal parts are high-gloss black and the plastic parts (like the extension joints) are matte and also high-quality.The light came with instructions, but the instructions were not the best in terms of ease of understanding. But after some putzing I was able to figure it all out and get it assembled. I think there are videos online that you can find that will probably be a better reference for assembly.Definitely worth the money and I will be buying one or two more for my studio. Also pictured in the photo is the Calumet Background stand which I must say matches perfectly to this light.
