Review on SH Softbox Photography Lighting Kit, Professional Continuous Lighting Equipment with 2×135W E27 Socket 5500K Bulbs by Girish Underwood

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good value for money but not the best for everyday temporary installation

lighting kit for my eBay business and for creating videos on Youtube. This kit works great. It is easy to set up, gives off a lot of light and the quality is right for the price. My only complaint is that it doesn't lend itself to multiple setups and takedowns. I don't have my own studio. When I need to take a photo or video, I set up the background and lighting in my basement living room. When I'm done, I'll disassemble and tidy everything up. Unfortunately, I did not know that these lights should be stored with the bulbs removed. The bulbs are a bit fragile and come in boxes with foam inserts. With each build (once or twice a week) I have to carefully screw in the bulbs (you should only touch the base and not the bulbs themselves). Taking it apart I have to carefully unscrew the bulbs and put them back into foam trays and boxes that don't really seem strong enough for repeated use. These lamps are much better suited to a permanent studio setup. but I think most people who buy them don't have their own studio space. I will probably continue to use them until I can afford LED panels which are stronger and easier to store when not in use. That's the only reason I give it four stars. Otherwise I am very satisfied with these lamps so far.
