MOUNTDOG Softbox Lighting Kit, 2x19.7"x27.5" Photography Continuous Lighting System with 2pcs 85W 5700K E27 Socket LED Bulbs and Remote for Portrait Product Fashion Photography

This light is incredibly bright, and easy to assemble and use. The provided remote works well too; however, the remote works with the installed lightbulb, which means, you have to open up the diffuser in order for the signal to reach the bulb. Kind of annoying, but not end of the world. The different temperatures of the light are nice and smooth, easy to use and adjust.The physical temperature of the light bulb isn't too hot. There is a metal heat sink on it to help with dissipating the heat; however, even being under that shroud, it hasn't gotten piping hot.I wish the power cord was a bit longer, an extra couple of feet would be incredibly nice and helpful.The light also comes with a bag. I'm not entirely sure why, as I haven't been able to figure out how to get anything back into it. Maybe I'll figure it out one day.Still happy with the purchase, it is plenty bright enough, large enough, and easy to use for its price point.

This softbox lighting kit is a fantastic addition to my content creation setup. The lights are bright, easy to assemble, and provide soft, even lighting that makes photos and videos look much more professional. The stands feel stable, and the kit works great for filming, live streaming, product photography, and social media content. Excellent value for the price and perfect for beginners and experienced creators alike. Highly recommend!

I got these larger lights to replace a smaller set that just wasn't doing the job for photographing resale products. They were easy to set up and are plenty bright. They are off-gassing a horrible plastic-like smell that is permeating the house, but I am hoping that dissipates soon. That is the reason for 4 stars instead of 5. Just two other little things: 1) one of the light sockets seemed to have grit or something inside, as the bulb was scratchy when screwing it in, then the light wouldn't turn on the first try. I removed the bulb and cleaned the socket really well. When I put the bulb back in it was still making small gritty noises, but I snugged it up tighter and it worked this time. 2) The remotes are not individually coded. Both lights respond to either remote. Watch out, because if you have one off and one on and use the remote, then when you turn them both on and use the remote, each will respond to wherever it left off in the cycle, so you need to get them matching before turning them off and then using the remote to control them both at the same time, or they'll be out of sync with each-other. You'll see what I mean. :)

Modern technology and Chinese manufacturing really have done wonders to bring formerly expensive gear down to reasonable prices. This softbox kit is a prime example. For under $100 you get diffuse light sources with variable brightness and color temperature. Each light is well made and easy to assemble. The softbox itself deploys and locks into shape easily and quickly. It's also easy and quick to screw in the LED bulbs and attach the covers. If there's anything to nitpick about it's the hardware where the softbox attaches to the light stands. It could be beefier but it's totally functional. I have a feeling it'll break if tightened too hard or forced in a lateral direction. I don't plan on manhandling my softboxes so I'm not too concerned. The light stands aren't Manfrotto quality but they more than sturdy enough to support the softboxes. The same nitpick about the hardware applies here as well. It's good enough but not super beefy and probably won't stand up to excessive abuse. The lights themselves are plenty bright and can be easily dimmed as needed. It's also easy to switch color temperatures. I used one remote and controlled both lights simultaneously. As near as I can tell without a meter, the color temperature and brightness is a good match between both lights as well. Each component (except the bulbs) comes with a bag and there's a larger bag that all the parts can be placed into. My wife makes jewelry and as been using a small softbox she made for product pictures. Her softbox is too small for some of the pieces she's making now but this kit is perfect. It's also great for taking product photos of things I sell on-line all the time. I can't believe how much you can get for this price point now. Super pleased.

Great starter lighting kit for home studio setupsI bought this MOUNTDOG 2-pack softbox lighting kit to improve my lighting for video calls, filming content, and general home studio use, and overall I’m really happy with it.Setup was very quick and straightforward. I had both lights assembled and ready to use in about 10–15 minutes. The stands are lightweight but stable enough for indoor use, and the height adjustment makes it easy to position the lights where you need them.The light quality is a big upgrade compared to regular room lighting or ring lights. It produces a soft, even glow that looks flattering on camera and helps reduce harsh shadows. It’s especially good for talking-head videos, Zoom meetings, and basic product shots.I also like that it comes with adjustable color temperature options, so I can switch between warmer and cooler lighting depending on the mood or time of day. The remote control is a nice bonus and makes it easy to adjust settings without walking back and forth.That said, it is definitely more of a beginner or budget-friendly setup. The softbox material and stands feel a bit lightweight, so I wouldn’t recommend it for heavy professional studio use or frequent travel. Also, it’s not extremely bright, so it works best in smaller rooms or controlled lighting environments.✔️ Pros:Easy and fast setupSoft, flattering light for video and photosAdjustable color temperatureRemote control includedGreat value for beginners❌ Cons:Stand and softbox material feel a bit lightweightNot ideal for large rooms or bright daylight conditionsNot professional-grade durability⭐ Final verdict:For the price, this is a really solid entry-level lighting kit. Perfect for content creators, home studios, or anyone wanting to look better on camera without spending a lot.

I recently purchased the Softbox Lighting Kit, and I couldn't be more pleased with the results! I needed reliable and high-quality lighting equipment to elevate my work, and this kit has exceeded my expectations in every way.I was pleasantly surprised by how quick and straightforward the setup process was. The kit comes with clear instructions, and I had everything assembled and ready to go in just a few minutes. The only thing I would suggest, is that the mount isn't the sturdiest, it's a little top heavy, so just make sure one of the legs is pointing towards you.It's super nice having the remote also, you can adjust the lighting if you need to. In addition, the kit's portability is a major plus. I can easily pack it up and transport it to different locations without any hassle. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to elevate their lighting game and achieve professional-grade results.

This product works well and is a game-changer for beginner video creators or photographers on a budget. It provides a professional look to your final product, giving beginners the perfect first step into the field.The tripod is lightweight, making it ideal for indoor use, but less suitable for spaces with kids. Note that this light box doesn’t support using a grid.It’s incredibly easy to set up, even for first-time users. The two-light setup is a great deal, even for small spaces, as it allows for different lighting angles.The package is well-designed, making it easy to store and portable for use anywhere. Keep in mind, the two remotes require AAA batteries.

I am NOT a pro-photographer, but I need this lighting for product photos and for added light for meditation videos. I have to say, I am IMPRESSED. EASY setup, stable stand, and the diversity of the dimming and color features is VERY important for indoor photography! There was one review that said the unit(s) kept tipping over, but I believe they didn't have the bottom tripod feet opened all the way. I will say if you are a pro photographer, you may wish to have the actual light boxes smaller, but perhaps that is preference. The only quick tip I can offer is that the remotes work best if you point directly at the front of the unit. When I set it up for a trial run, I had the lights pointed away from me and thought perhaps the remotes were defective. They were not. I just needed to move in front of the lights. One remote controls both simultaneously. Everything folds up nicely and it comes with a travel bag (that you CAN fit everything back into--- and STILL have a bit of room left :) and smaller bags for the stands. Very impressed. Would definitely recommend!

Product works like a charm with adjustable height, brightness and temperature. Value for money product and easy to operate with the remote.

Quality of Stand everything was so bad and stands were hardly able to handle its weightonly Light was good quality rest is fine.The refund was so disappointing total price AED 505/- but the refund was given AED 200/- onlydont buy if you want free returns

We use it for our 'social media corner' for our events. It really lights well. We out folks in front of our banners and take pix. It assembles fast and it's simple to put together. so far so good. We used in August and now for our fall events. Love that it has a bag to put the stuff in. So convenient.

I wouldn't recommend. Product was significantly delayed and does not come with a UK plug. I am waiting to hear back from the seller. But overall I would not recommend buying this is you like in the UK

was broken when i got it
