Functional, inexpensive 3-stand lighting kit.
Includes boom arm for overhead placement, and "warm" and "cool" lighting temp settings on each lighting head. Adjustable height on stands, adjustable brightness on lighting heads. Electric cords sufficiently long for power access (but extension cords are likely needed when all 3 are in use). A good basic kit.

Good price, good support
I purchased the softboxes for a YT channel. The kit comes with 3 led lights that are switchable from white to amber color temps. Putting them together is not too easy the first time till you figure out how it all goes together, but wasn't too bad and once you do it once, you'll be fine. At first I was really impressed. They are really bright on full intensity. I found the stands to be pretty good quality and nothing was tipping over.The issue is the potentiometers in the led lighting. I'm not sure if they are just really low quality pots (the electronics that turn with the knob that adjusts brightness), or if its other electronics in the light. Personally, I am guessing its a bad sweep in a cheap pot. That's tech talk for cheap brightness adjustment parts. If you leave the lights on full bright (knob turned all the way clockwise) or at its lowest setting, then they seem to work just fine. But I needed to setup a scene that looked perfect in my webcam. My ideal setting at night is a little higher than "low". The knobs are soooo sensitive in the lower range. You barely touch them and it gets bright so quickly, then the rest of turning the knob does almost nothing as it's near full brightness after just a slight turn. Honestly, for the price I would have been ok with messing with it, but the issue is that even if you get it where you want it, the lights flicker between the current setting and either brighter or lower. The change is fairly drastic so you get a light that is changing brightness constantly. Two of the three lights do this severely and the 3rd one does it too, but it's not as finicky and I can get it to work most of the time. I have contacted the company today. I can report back if it gets resolved, but I may just pack it up and return it and try another brand...I contacted company and they told me to return it. I did and re-bought it. The lights I received seem smaller than the last ones but they are big enough for my needs and it could just be my imagination. In any case, the new replacement lights are the same it's just the softbox part that is possibly smaller. Even though the lights seem like the same ones, these do jot have the flickering issue the old ones had. I have had them now for weeks and the are solid. I'm really happy with them and they really make the scene look well lit and higher quality.

Great for the price
This is great product, fairly light weight for as many items as there are it came with a travel bag storage bag, it was fairly simple to put together slightly tricky one person was able to do it. Works great for what I need highly recommend.

Perfect for youtube videos
This is my first light box set up for youtube videos and its perfect. Way better lighting than the ceiling light or natural lighting that comes from my window. You are able to control which direction the lighting comes from and from what angle and how bright or not bright it is.The bulb isn't actually a light bulb. It's like a flashlight so you don't need to replace it like a ceiling fan bulb. Plug the cord in to it and just turn it in.I'm assuming this isn't even high end equipment but I don't so happy with it. I was shopping for the cheapest I could find. This is a steal for beginners. I already got 90 subscribers on my youtube channel in a week since I started using it. Next is just a shotgun mic and editing software/editing software skills

Great lights but not very portable
We bought these to use in our house and different video shoots while traveling. They work well and are very bright. Unfortunately they're not very portable. It takes a lot of time to assemble and dismantle them. If you want lights that stay in a room these will work. If you want something portable then look elsewhere.

Great for Beginners
I needed an entry-level studio lighting kit for photographing my guitar builds. Being a novice at photography, I didn't want to start with high-end lighting only to end up using only 10% of its capabilities until I began to understand not just lighting principles but also my DSLR camera.The instructions aren't the best, but if one is mechanically inclined enough, the rig can be assembled by oneself with a little trial and error. When I assembled the studio setting for the photos attached, this was my second time putting the setup together so it went much faster. With the backdrop consisting of a simple set of king-sized bed sheets from the local store, I was able to set up the lights and experiment with positioning very easily.The package does not include anything for the counterweight bag that attaches to the overhead boom light, however (or at least, mine didn't include anything). It's up to the customer to find something suitably heavy but compact enough to fit in the bag (I estimate it's about 3-4" in width).

Terrible product.
Was looking for something affordable yet quality. Saw the reviews and went with this. Bad idea. For one, it was a hassle getting the light set up because they do not give instructions to set up the hair light. Second, the hair light keeps fallen downward even after I tighten the pole extractor- if I tighten it further more it will break because it's make of plastic. Do yourself a favor and get the real deal from b&h

Bang for the buck, but hard to assemble
These lights performed beautifully for my first headshot session. Not fast assembly by any means, but I definitely like the price. Quality is iffy, they’re made from plastic so I question the longevity. The carrying bag already broke after one use. The handle ripped right off so I’ll have to buy a new bag.
