Expert opinion

I recently had the chance to try out the Skytex Continuous Photography Lighting Kit and I was impressed with the results. This kit includes two 20 x 28/50cm x 70cm Softbox, two 135W 5500K 110V AC CFL Light Bulb, two 79/200cm Aluminum Alloy Light Stand, and one Oxford Cloth Carrying Bag. Everything you need for a professional lighting setup is included in this kit.

The 135W Energy Efficient Bulbs provide a total output equivalent to 1350W regular incandescent light bulb, which means that you can save energy up to 80 . The bulbs have a lifetime of approximately 8000 hours, so you can be sure that they ll last for quite some time. These bulbs are perfect for turning your room into a photo booth, as they can soften the harsh light source and remove any shadows while enhancing the skin tone in portrait photography. The silver internal face minimizes light loss and maximizes light spread.

The tripod height adjustable from 26 to 79 inch/66cm to 200cm, 3 section column legs are made of aluminum alloy and are very sturdy and stable. The lamp holder angle can be adjusted 210 so it is perfect for different types of shooting with its 1/4 inch Standard Screw Thread Tip. There is also an extra long 8.5Ft/250cm cable included which gives you greater range of movement for shooting photography without having to move around too much.

The entire kit is highly portable due to the durable Oxford cloth tote included in the package which allows for easy transportation of all parts of the kit. It sets up in minutes and is great for home studio lighting, portrait, wedding formals, product photography, pet still photography live streaming gaming streaming video recording interviews Youtube videos etc.

Overall I would recommend this product to anyone looking for an easy yet professional way to set up their own lighting system at home or on the go! The Skytex Continuous Photography Lighting Kit provides great value for money, as it has all you need in one package bulbs stands softboxes etc. and its also very easy to assemble and take apart. Plus its incredibly lightweight so it wont take up too much space when traveling! All in all this product is perfect for anyone who wants quality lighting without breaking their bank account!
