EMART Photography Umbrella Lighting Kit, 400W 5500K Photo Portrait Continuous Reflector Lights for Camera Video Studio Shooting Daylight (2 Packs)

Worked out great for the show I needed them for. Ended up getting higher wattage light bulbs but other than that they were easy set up and cheaper than some most.

We originally bought these lights for photography but now we use them to create great lighting for our huge puzzles! The light quality is excellent and the lights are easy to set up and move around. They do take up a little bit of space so they can get in the way but they’re lightweight but not flimsy so they’re easy to put away or move around. Overall they have exceeded expectations and are multipurpose lights for a great price.

Nice lighting set for the price. Everything fits together and works. All parts were included.

While this product represents a good value, I'm concerned with it's overall build construction. Arriving on time and in a package marked "fragile" everything inside was well packed and undamaged. The CFL bulbs are 5500k, which is in the daylight spectrum and casts a clean blue-white hue. The bulbs use 43 watts each, which is equal to a 110 watt incandescent bulb in lumens. Additionally, CFLs take a few moments to achieve full brightness, even longer in colder conditions, since you are electrically charging a fluorescing gas inside. Translation: give these fixtures a couple minutes before determining if they're bright enough for your intended use. The overall value is improved by the ease of use, specifically the tripods. After about three minutes, everything was set up and turned on. While you don't get a carrying bag or case, all the components fold down to a manageable size and are very easy to store or transport. Also, there's threaded caps on each tripod that come off and expose a standard camera mount post. Very handy if natural light is adequate and you want to mount a second or third cam. The build quality is the only real concern here. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5 for a very usable $40 kit. The locking points on the tripod are plastic and would easily break if overtightened. The same holds true with the light/diffuser mount, and in the outdoors a stiff wind could cause failure at the attachment points. The tripod post doesn't fully insert into the light mount, I'll post a pic. Not a huge deal if all you're doing is setting these up once for a shoot without any intention of multiple repositioning. I would've liked to see a deeper recess in the mount for a more secure attachment. But hey, for less than $40 I'm thrilled with the outcome. The light is clean and crisp, and the quality of my videos are pics are improved. Since we're only using them to shoot YouTube vids in the house, I feel like I'll get a decent lifespan from this kit, which is why I'm giving it a 4 star overall rating.

I purchased this lighting kit because I'm a blogger and was looking for a way to add more light to my photos. This umbrella light was the perfect solution. It gives off lots of light without being too harsh. I love that adjustable stand. It can adjust to well beyond 6 feet which is great for helping to control how close or far away you want your light source to the object that you're photographing. Using this umbrella light has greatly increased the quality of my cooking vlogs as well. This lighting kit is definitely worth the investment whether you're a pro-blogger like me or photographer or someone who just likes taking pictures and filming videos. The quality is really good. I've only had my light two weeks but it's gotten plenty of use already. I will definitely be purchasing more of these kits.

Details: Everything you need for soft diffused lighting. Stands are metal, but very light weight. Rod holder plastic and light weight. Umbrella translucent with 50% reflectivity. Non dimming simple on/off switch. Bulb fluorescence, 5500k as advertised. Everything is designed to work together. Experience: Nothing really stands out about this set, Very basic and functional. Light weight, easy to assemble, soft true white light. Though fluorescent bulb it is non flicker at all standard video shutter rates. Cons: I don't think it's anywhere near 400w, which makes the Non dimming a non issue. No bag. Conclusion: For the price it is a good choice, but I'll be replacing with something more substantial with a brighter bulb, that is dimmable and has a storage bag..

Great value. Would highly recommend.

Works great

These Provide a significant amount of light for the area in my shop. I am a YouTube influencer, and do it as a hobby. I needed some extra light In my shop but I didn’t wanna spend a whole lot of money. Bang for your buck these were actually very good quality, the stands are sturdy, and everything folds fairly compact. I didn’t know anything about lighting until I searched for these and others on Amazon and I’m glad I went with these.

Justo lo que esperaba, calidad buena, funcionalidad y resistencia. Es un buen producto para empezar en la fotografía

Excelente producto

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I've been a professional artist for a few years now and I really struggled with the lighting of my online sale photos until I purchased this lighting kit. They are light weight, pretty sturdy and also super easy to set up coming with everything needed for immediate use. And they're not just great for taking photos, I've started having one set up fully extended behind and over my head while I paint, it's better than any twisting work lamp or overhead light I've used before. Definitely 5 stars!

Llegó sin problemas, el único detalle es que siento que la potencia queda a deber. Para empezar o sí se tiene poco presupuesto considero que es buena opción.
