Pretty decent performance

I was pleasantly surprised by their brightness and capabilities. I only bought one set of batteries when I received them but I was able to test the functionality and they were nice and bright without being plugged into the wall. The only thing I want to differentiate from other lights I've bought from this company is the way the softboxes are assembled. It would be nice if they were more collapsible compared to assembly and disassembly, but a small inconvenience. Haven't used them for shooting…

Great for Zoom Best in softboxes

As someone who enjoys overcomplicating simple things, I wasn't happy just turning on my webcam and teaching college classes on Zoom during the COVID-19 quarantine. While most people using Zoom from home spend time worrying about hair, makeup, background, etc., they seem to forget that the type of lighting makes all the difference. . These lamps are the perfect solution. Pick one up on the right or left and make it bright (I recommend using a warmer tone). Add another one on the other side and…

The headlights themselves work perfectly.

I bought these to be able to switch between warm and cool light. The bag that came with it looks pretty nice. Zippers are very cheap and often break. Lightweight cases are very lightweight and feel pretty cheap. When putting on softboxes, the sticks that you use for the frame are inserted into the light body. After 2 uses of the product there is already a nick on the plastic so I'm not sure how long it will last. When trying to tighten the Y-Axis (Up/Down) screw, the plastic hand screw snapped…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Speed

Original Review: I bought this kit for low budget YouTube video work. I have used these lights maybe 6 times. On final adjustment I noticed that the receiver on the underside of one of the lamps where it attaches to the vertical post was completely cracked in half. When I took it off, the metal collar nut had come loose from what was left of the receiver. I'm pretty sure the block can't be reassembled. Also, the wing nuts on the bottom of both lamps that control rotation will crack. Update…

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Nothing here

Great low cost streaming tubes

I bought these tubes to replace a set of tubes I had when streaming live on Twitch TV. their brightness or color temperature. Also, they were still using CFL lightbulbs when I wanted to install them so they would help get rid of the extra heat generated in my space. Overall these bulbs get the job done and take up less space than previous bulbs I've had. The softboxes appear to be of decent quality and seem to diffuse the light from the LED panels quite well. I love that you can adjust both…

Pros
  • Nice packaging
Cons
  • New competitors

Great and affordable setup for budget photography enthusiasts

In total I bought 2 LED softboxes to improve lighting for video and photo shoots. I was completely impressed with the performance and at this price point it's hard to find other products that I could find in a similar price range. I highly recommend it to anyone who wants to improve their photography or video game and can't afford other lighting solutions. A few great things to look out for: - Color Temperature: LED lights emit a nice bright/soft blue or yellow light as advertised. -In terms of
