A must have game changer

I do music covers for YouTube and I record them on my DSLR. I always wondered how people got those clear looking shots, and how I didn't, even though I also used an expensive camera. Little did I know that it was because of my light source. Before getting these bad boys, I would just use my ceiling light to light up my videos, big mistake. After getting these soft boxes, my videos look amazing! I'm not saying that to boast, I'm saying that in comparison to not having them. My whole perspective on filming has changed since getting these and I use them every time now. These are super easy to set up and when I'm not using them, I just put them in the corner and they honestly don't take up too much room. I would highly suggest these to those of you who are into photography of cinematography, it's just a necessity. And for the price, you really can't go wrong.

Pleasantly surprised

I love the lighting these two soft boxes give off it's just perfect!! I have a YouTube channel and I was in need of some precise bright lighting for makeup videos etc. and this is exactly what these gave me! Very professional looking will be ordering from them again!đź’ž

Really Great Value!

I love these lights for what they are. They're affordable video lights! They'll get your Youtube channel up and running and probably do some paid work. There is nothing inherently wrong with them. They are just cheaper built and likely will not last through much rigorous use. I picked these up to do product reviews and simple video work. They've served me very well so far. The stands are the weakest link, in my opinion. If a person used these everyday for work, taking them down and setting them back up, I doubt they'd last a year. But once they're up, they do a fairly good job. Pro tip: set your shutter speed to 1/60 or some multiple of that. For example: 1/30th, 1/60th, 1/120th... These bulbs have a frequency of 60 Hz, which will present flicker to your video, like any other florescent bulb, if you don't use a shutter speed to basically sync up with that.

Everything worked, right out of the box.

So far so good. I just received this kit today. My first impression is that they will work just perfect for my semi-professional photography side job. I unboxed it and every thing was in working order. Both lights function appropriately. The sockets are not expensive sockets and I am sure they will be the first thing that I need to replace. I suspect this because the lamp fits loosely in the socket. Not shorting loose, but it's clear they are not top of the line sockets. I shot a few pics in my living room with my camera in Manuel Mode with the white balance set at full sun and the lights had the appropriate color temperature. I actually prefer to shoot outside or with natural light, I will be using this as fill lights. They are super light weight. If you are buying them for every day use they might be too light weight, if you are like me and will only use them a few times a month you will probably be ok. Definitely would want to weight it down if you had any kind of breeze. Velcro wrist or ankle weights would be appropriate. Also, please see my pictures before you throw away all of your packaging.....pro tip: if you open up the two boxes that the tri-pods come in you can tape them together to make your carrying case much stronger to protect your bulbs and stands. I will come back and review once I have used them a few times.

Easy to assemble and easy to carry from one place ...

This product is of very high quality. Easy to assemble and easy to carry from one place to another, it is light and brings its own package to store it. Now my photos are spectacular and perfect at any time of the day.

Very Nice!

Great right out of the box. Little top heavy but if only used indoors you will be fine. Super bright and white light. Attached is a picture I took of my cat with my cellphone.

Bright 800-Watt Lights - Nice Stands and Case

I’ve purchased several photography lighting kits in the past and I am happy with all of them. All have their purpose as well as their positives and negatives. I like umbrella type photography lights as they give out a fair amount of natural looking light, however these type lights don’t always provide quite enough light. So I decided to purchase some box lights (softbox) to provide a little more lighting. After some research I purchased the ESDDI 20"X28" Softbox Photography Lighting Kit. What drew me to this kit was the 800-watt lights and the included carrying case. When the ESDDI Lighting Kit arrived I was very careful when opening the box as I’ve purchased similar items in the past and have found the product is often butted right against the shipping box. Sure enough, this was case here (unintentional pun). Had I been careless with a knife or box cutter I would have cut the case when opening the shipping box. So, should you buy use caution when opening the shipping box. Note: The included case is a medium weight canvas case, and included are two nylon sleeves with Velcro enclosures to house the individual light boxes. Once unpacked the first thing I noticed was how big these CFL light bulbs are compared to the lights I already have. (see pic 1) At that point I knew these CFL lights were going to be a lot brighter than the ones I already have. The tripods were already assembled and appear to be of good quality. Height adjustments and leg positioning is performed by loosening the three wing knobs, adjusting the legs and height, and then re-tightening the knobs. I have another lighting set and the tripods for those lights are very similar. When it came time to “build” the softboxes I was a little concerned that this was going to be a chore. However, the light box opens just like a regular umbrella. After opening the softboxes I just needed to screw the lightbulb into the base socket making sure it passed through the center of the umbrella support. The bulb is what keeps the arms of the box umbrella extended. (see pic 2) Note: The material for the softboxes is thicker than I would have imagined it would be, so they should hold up well. The inner section of the softboxes are lined with a highly reflective material, much like what is used for car windshield shades. Last was the installation of the box cover/diffuser. The diffuser cover installs similar to a fitted bed sheet, you just wrap it around the outside edge of the light box and it is held securely in place by sewn in Velcro strips. (see pic 3) The lights are controlled by a toggle switch that is built in to the upper section of the 7 1/2’ power cord. (see pic 4) The light is not dimmable so your choices are simply on or off. After set up, I was not surprised to see that these lights provided much more light than the umbrella lights that I already own. The large 85W CFL bulbs produce a daylight white light in the 5500K range, which I am pleased with. Okay, I am very happy with these lights so far but there is one nitpick… and that is these softbox lights are a little tipsy due to their large 20 "x 28" size. I already was expecting this and as I am using these inside in a controlled environment this not a concern to me. However if this is a concern to you than you might consider getting weighted bags to attach to the base stands. I have includes some pictures below as described above. If I experience any issues, I will update this review.

For the cost, these are perfect!

I've been tinkering with a light setup for the 2nerdgirls vlogcast for about a month now. It's a frontal interview setup with two women talking to the camera. I wanted to craft a look that was professional and flattering for for female skin. Since we are doing this in our living room (right now) I also wanted something light and flexible, easy to strike and set up. I am happy to say, that for around 60 bucks, these lights fit the bill. Finally, I landed on the look I want at the complexity level I wanted. First I am going to talk about the lights and stands themselves, then I will do a quick comparison to some of the other types of lights I purchased as I would have like to have these comparisons when I was shopping. THESE LIGHTS: Structure: A plastic light stand mount is attached to a light bulb socket and the soft box rectangle itself. There is an inner ring inside the softbox that you push back in to the light socket, to open it up (kind of like an umbrella). You screw in the lightbulb, which reaches almost to the edge of the softbox, it's that big! The inside of the softbox has silver reflective material, to maximize light output. Then each softbox comes with a white softening material with velcro on it that you affix over the softbox. From there, you screw the plastic mount on to a standard light stand. It comes with two lightweight ones, but will work with any light stand. Power is your standard cable, with the switch located near the top of the softbox, which is nice. Note that they are higher than wide. They articulate up and down and left and right, but do not rotate clockwise or counter clockwise. Pros: -Light weight -little power -Nice SOFT light... soft enough to satisfy my talent (lol) -nice 5500k (ish) GIANT SIZED fluorescent bulbs. Close to daylight, which is great cause you can pair them nicely with window light -easy to move around -easy to set up -they come with a nice canvass bag, so you can pack em up and travel with em. -light output: This is a PRO for interviews, but read carefully, these may not be powerful enough for wider shots and greater distances: at approximately 4 ft from subject I am getting a 2.8 on my light meter shooting at ISO 400 @ 24fps. Considering most cameras can go comfortably to 800ISO, that means you could shoot at key at an F4. I'm trying to shoot wide open on a Canon 35mm at 1.8, but I can attest to this looking great at a 2.8, too. -For what it's worth my light meter read 285 footcandles at the same distance. -Cheap! I take price in to consideration. If these were $100 or more this would not be a 5 star review. Cons: -The light stands are light and flimsy, probably gonna break sooner or later. For me, this isn't a huge con, cause I have a ton of light stands. In fact, I wanted something light and easy to move, so for me it is a plus... I just accept them for what they are. I recommend getting a few sandbags to weight them down, especially if you are using them outdoors in a windy area. I did knock one over, and nothing broke, so there is that! -These tripods do not go very high. maybe 6 feet tops. Great for a seated position -These are NOT high end professional lights. I know it seems strange to write this here, but sometimes I think people expect perfection for basement prices. What these are, is good soft lighting. -With the cheap plastic light socket and light stand attachment all affixed to the softbox, if it breaks, your whole unit is basically busted. -the lightbulbs are so big they push against the softening material at the end, so you see hotspots in the middle. Though to me the lighting was really nice and soft anyway, so I don't care. -I don't think these would work great as outdoor cinematic night lighting... they really are interview cameras, maybe good for constant fill light for photography. If you're doing a dramatic scene with close ups in a small room, these could work really nice. You just have to know their limitations. COMPARISON: I started with two knock off kinoflow units that I bought on amazon for about 200 bucks each. It's basically 4 strip florescent bulbs in a reflective metallic box with reflective metallic barn doors. These units output the most light, so if you need quantity of light over quality, they may be better for you. However, when aiming them directly at the ladies, the light felt very harsh and unflattering. Side note, I purchased two of these units and the light bulbs are slightly different temperatures in each! I then moved on to the Diva light ring. I figured - women, light ring, soft frontal light... perfect! And indeed, it was pretty good. And I really like the diva light ring. It's more expensive though, at 285 dollars, but it does some super cool stuff. It can articulate on a stand, dim, very nice soft light, also 5500k. However, there was one flaw! Glasses. One of the women wears glasses and you see a giant white ring in them when she is looking at the camera. There's another flaw - they are best for one subject, you get some fall off on two subjects. I have a nice LED panel, too, that can dim and switch color temperatures... but I have found that this light is also a little too hard, and also not that bright. I love this light though and use it a lot as an accent light, hitting walls and such behind the subjects. But I would need to invest about 400+ bucks to get LED panels that rival these softboxes as my main lights. I tried using lights and umbrellas, which to me is more of a photography thing. Just didn't do it for me. I ended up purchasing these lights and creating your more classic 3 point lighting. I put both of these soft boxes at 45 degree angles to the subjects and now use the diva light ring as a kicker light high and behind, to add some light to their hair. You still see these lights reflected in glasses, but only when the subject turns her head, not when she looks at camera. Also, for some reason, seeing white squares is more forgiving than a giant, strange, white donut. I only use the fake kinoflos pointed at the ceiling as ambient room light. I am looking for a way to get rid of them and create ambient light in a more simple way. CONCLUSION: Like anything, you have to know what you're needs are. If you are doing interviews on the go or for vlogging, I think these are great. Especially if you want that soft, flattering look. I actually give them an edge up on the diva light ring - I think the light is nicer. The other thing, too is, if you are like me and trying to figure things out and learn - get these. They are cheap and if they don't work for you then you didn't waste too much money. But if they do work for you, then you just saved a ton of money. And even as your kit expands and you get more lights, these will always be great backups. PRO TIPS: -When you open the bags with the white soft material, you need to flip the edges inside out to properly affix them to the softbox. This may be a duh, but took me a minute to realize. -If you look at my picture you will see tennis balls scored and affixed to the feet of all my stands. This is an old grip trick we do in TV whenever we shoot on location in peoples houses - keeps from scratching the floor! So buy the cheapest bundle of tennisballs on amazon you can!
