Review on πŸ“Έ Inkeltech Softbox Lighting Kit: Professional 3000K/5200K/6800K LED Photography Light with Reflector and Stand - Perfect for Portraits and Shooting by Nathan Pintac

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Carrying case not included

My fault I didn't go into the details, but I was expecting the Inkeltech softbox lighting kit to come with a carrying case, unfortunately it didn't. Assembly is easy, I assembled one of the lamps without even looking at the instructions. The coasters are made of metal, probably aluminum, but they seem a bit fragile. Pulls out fairly easily and is reasonably stable once fully assembled with the hood and lantern attached. I will be careful to do the assembly process slowly to avoid bending the metal when assembling the stand. The hoods are painted with silver reflective material on the inside and have a raised finish in some areas to aid in diffusion. They are probably the sturdiest item in the kit and it seems like they can take some strain over the long haul. Fitment is fairly easy but when fitting a round metal ring to the lamp socket the hood supports (e.g. an umbrella stretcher) don't seem to hold up to the pressure but they did and the fit is nice and tight. Inserting the lamp is easy, it is screwed in like a normal light bulb. Once everything is assembled the light works as expected, delivering a very decent level of light without the included diffuser and giving off a much more nuanced light with diffusers. Place. He was able to light up a 12x15 room with just one fixture mounted. What strikes me as odd is the light white balance control, which is controlled by turning the light on and off, one click for each of the three white balances 3000K, 5200K and 6800K. They could have just added another clickable button to the switch to be able to control the white balance separately, but they didn't. recommended in the years to come.
