2400 WATT Digital Photography Continuous Softbox Lighting Studio Video Portrait Kit CH9004S3 by Kaezi

3 soft is lights for under $100. Wow what a great deal and the lights are awesome too!!!! Don’t let the price thro you off. These are easy to set up and works just as good as brands that are 3x the price.

I purchased these lights back in February and I am just getting around to assembling them and using them. I was a little disappointed in the size of the soft box (which is the only reason why I gave them 4 stars). I thought they would be larger than what they actually are (they aren't super small though). I received every piece and all the bulbs are working. You are not able to dim the bulbs but there are switches on the back that allows you to turn on all four bulbs or just two (which was a unexpected surprise). The light stands aren't the best quality in the world but they get the job done. I would suggest you purchase some sand bags or weigh them down with something for extra security. The assembly of the soft boxes wasn't super hard but they weren't super easy either. I wouldn't pack them away after every use though...too much of a hassle. I am going to store them fully assembled unless I absolutely have to pack them away. I purchased these for video and photography purposes and so far, they work just fine. Overall, I am happy with my purchase. I will update my rating, if needed, as time goes on.

I can't believe the quality of the lights at the price. I wasn't expecting much but I am pleasantly surprised at how bright and high quality these lights are. Love that you can control the individual lights. Great lighting system!!

Just assembled one of the three lights. And just be warned it's a pain in the butt to assemble. Could be the same for these types of lights. but, ughhh! The second one was much easier! Tip is to put the poles in the light base first. Then loosen all 4 velcro strips around base, and it will go together easier and quicker!

I was a little worried about the brightness but with 3 of these they do the job. No need to upgrade bulbs. These are as bright as some LEDs that I’ve used in the past gigs. Works for video and photo

For $25 a fixture... (Stand, softbox, two diffuser sheets, a four bulb head with cord and 4 CFL bulbs...) shipped... It'd be hard to expect much more in terms of quality. This isn't my first set of cheap CFL softboxes. And these are somehow even a little more cheap and fragile feeling than some of my other sets. But... they all three arrived fully functional and completely undamaged which with CFL lights at this price point I can tell you, from experience, is far from a given. The biggest disappointment and I feel like I should have known better at this price, is that these are not 45 watt bulbs. They are half the size and consistently about half the brightness (measured with a light meter at multiple distances...) of all the other 45w CFLs I own. Another reviewer measured their actual power draw at just over 20 watts so I won't bother repeating that test. This mostly confirms my suspicion that these are actually 23w CFLs despite their stampings saying otherwise. While disappointed, I'm keeping them as I still have some uses for them. Given the price, they actually represent a reasonable value. And the fact that they arrived in good shape and fully functional is a huge plus. They will work, and I'd even recommend them, for filming video or snapping photos in situations where you can get the lights really close to your subject ( no more than 1-2 feet away). From much farther than that they're not going to be much help... But for the price, if you buy them knowing that you are getting the incandescent equivalent of about 400 W per fixture instead of the labeled 800... They aren't a bad value given the price. But be aware of the quality and output you are actually buying. They won't take much moving around or abuse and need to be assembled, adjusted, and handled VERY delicately. But given that a typical set of three very "budget friendly and not so durable LED video lights with small softboxes, stands, and just a little more output would START at about $700-$800... these, at one tenth of the price, and probably 50 to 60% of the max light output, are actually a pretty good value all things considered.

Great set of lights at at an even greater price. The light are nice and bright for video. Daylight balanced and great key lighting.

I purchased two sets of these lights. I have multiple videos I took but I am only allowed to upload one, so see attached video. I have thus far noticed 4 out of the 6 softboxes have flickering issues. Meaning at least 1 of the 4 lights inside the given softbox is turning on and off. Two of the softboxes flicker a moderate amount (still unacceptable). One softbox flickers A LOT. One softbox is effectively broken, meaning all four lights inside the softbox are off the majority of the time. Although this was cheaper than my Fancierstudio lights (next cheapest option), I've had my Fancierstudio set since May 2015 and those lights are still working perfectly fine. I needed additional lighting and figured I'd try this because it was cheaper but it's created a massive headache having to set all these lights up, and now I'll have to tear them all down and ship them back. I would recommend paying a little more for any other lights set which will actually work.
