Review on ๐Ÿ“ธ EMART 600W Photography Photo Video Portrait Studio Daylight Umbrella Lighting Kit for Continuous Shooting by Christopher Smith

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Danger. You will need additional parts that are not included in the kit.

Received my kit on time today (I paid for expedited shipping as I needed the kit for video shooting today). and in good shape. I was impressed with the packaging and the obvious quality of the device at a very affordable price. Although there were no instructions, assembly was a breeze once we figured out how to set up the light on tripods. So why only three stars? In none of the other reviews, which appear to have been submitted by people who received a review discount, no one mentions that the device comes with Asian 250 volt plugs. How frustrating to assemble everything so that I can shoot a video today and end up realizing that all three plugs require an adapter which was not mentioned in the reviews I have read. I had to wander all over town to find adapters that I believe work. These are strictly plug adapters, not transformers, so I'm not sure I'm getting the power from these bulbs that I should be. If I had bought complete transformers, the kit would have doubled. The outlets work, at least as long as the lights are on, but I'm not sure I'm getting the full power from the devices. No video was recorded for me today and I admit it annoys me that this converter requirement was not mentioned anywhere. in product information or other reviews. I have sent an email to the seller but have not yet received a reply. I was very impressed by the other reviews. The company may have sent adapters to its first reviewers.

Pros
  • Not cheap but decent
Cons
  • Not as thick as other picks
