Fovitec StudioPRO 450 Watt 2 Photography Photo Video Studio Continuous 5500K Lighting Kit - Includes Lightstands & Reflectors

All in all these are great for the price. One of the bulbs shorted and dramatically fried the first time I used them. But still for the price over all quality is good.

These are my third set of lights I've purchased and the best upgrade for the money, you will love these lights. The stands are great on this set, I thought I may have to use my Amazon heavy duty stands with these but the stands that come with it are even thicker and more well made in my opinion. The build holders are higher quality than most kits in this price range with wooden handles for adjusting angle and very heavy duty cords and switches. I did upgrade the bulbs to LimoStudio 105 Watt, 6500 K Fluorescent Daylight Balanced Light Bulbs #AGG878 which puts out the equivalent of 800 watts of incandescent. They are still way under the recommended maximum incandescent wattage of 450, since they are just 210 watts combined.I personally wanted the brighter lights, the ones supplied will be more than enough for most people if used to photograph smaller or closeup objects.

I received this "kit" a few days ago and it was nowhere near what was advertised. There was just one huge reflector. There wasn't 2 of anything as advertised. It has no light stands or light bulbs. I was depending on this so my shoot is delayed while I return this and order something else. I thought StudioPro was a good choice but I guess not.

I only tested them out, my event isn't for another couple of weeks but one of the bulbs doesn't work. I will have to buy a new bulb and noticing the bulbs for this Studio PRO on amazon its gonna cost me another $17.50 with Prime. Its disappointing with the cost of the bulbs to replace bulbs I should have had working in the first place, I paid for working bulbs not broken or malfunctioning bulbs. another 20 dollars is ridiculous.

All parts were well-constructed. Tripods, especially at the lower cost end, can be dicey, but these were well-made. I have small photo projects (graphic and art-works), so these worked well. With a larger subject matter I'd have to pop for the $400 tripods.

the only issue is with one of the switches not making a connection so it only works intermittently

This is a great product for an entry-level continuous lighting setup. I was going to build my own lights, but by the time I sourced the stands, reflectors, and bulbs, I would've spent the same amount as these cost. The stands are great, and very adjustable. Nice wooden handles on the back of the reflectors. One of the bulbs didn't work upon arrival. A quick phone call to the company, and they shipped out a replacement bulb immediately. Really great customer service.The only knock I have is that the supplied bulbs (while great quality and color) are large and they protrude from the reflector dish. That makes it dangerous to put diffusion material across the front of the reflector since it would come in direct contact with the bulb. I ended up using a lower-profile LED bulb instead, and I can attach my diffusion material directly to the reflector.

I'm extremely pleased with these. $100? Seriously? They were already assembled... all I had to do was screw on the reflector and screw in the bulb. They are very versatile and easy to extend, move, and work with. The power cords are long enough, but not so long they get in the way. I think you would have to pay a lot more to find stands that are, perhaps, a bit more hefty (and, heavy). But, for light studio work or photographing artwork or whatever, they are perfect.I saw a 1 star review, but that person was obviously confused or ordered only a part. These were very well packaged and all parts were there.I am wondering one thing.... what is this clamp for?
