Does what you need though.

I ordered this product and gave it 3 stars for a reason (see update below). The build quality is not that bad. What I find fault with is the Fresnel lens in the design. The Fresnel lens appears to be made of plastic rather than glass. Unfortunately, I didn't find out about this until later when I removed the product. I noticed that something wasn't right there. It had a refractive appearance and I also noticed that there was a hole on one side. It melted from the modeling lamp. I have a Bowens Prolite series with a long 3" cylindrical modeling lamp that may have been too close to the Fresnel lens in the unit. I may have to replace it with a glass version, if I can find a less thick lens. unless Wellmaking sends me a replacement lens. I will keep you up-to-date. UPDATE: Wellmaking contacted me asking about the photos I sent and we found the issue. My Bowen lamp had a deep rosette (marked with a red arrow) along with a very long modeling lamp that caused melting by being too close to the lens. They sent me a refill and an interchangeable lens if I wanted to play around with it. So I got great customer service for a mistake that was my light, not theirs.
