5.0 out of 5 stars Lightweight but nicely made. Remotes work, but not as you would expect.
I think this is a really good lighting kit for the money. The stands are lightweight compared to pro equipment but they're nicely made and the clamps lock everything together well. The lamps are great and I would certainly say bright enough for table-top photography work, lighting for portraits, vlogging etc. Being able to change the brightness and colour temp is a nice feature but as reviewer Longshot mentions, the remote controls are a bit confusing. So here's the trick. Pick up just one remote and press the ON button. Both lights will come on. Then, point the remote directly at the centre of the bulb of one light (I mean stretch a little and really aim at it) and press OFF. That should turn just that light off. Aim at it again and press ON and it should come back on. Now, aim at it once more and press the colour cycle buttons or the brightness buttons and only that light should change. Now turn and point the same remote control directly at the centre of the second light and repeat the process. It doesn't matter which remote you use, they are not paired to the lights in any way so you can just use one remote to control both lights and keep the other as a spare.
4.0 out of 5 stars Did the job I required it for
Photo shoot inside a Railway Carriage, lights pointed at ceiling to soften shadows and add fill light
3.0 out of 5 stars Lighting for photos
Arrived with a broken light and no response to messages.
5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic for the money.
I use them in my workshop for my YouTube channel. Plenty bright enough for this kind of work. The remote is a non-issue, just point it directly at each light, and make your setting. Yes, you can't control them simultaneously...... but it's no big issue. The only negative, is the stands are a bit flimsy and are wobbly at full height..... Don't trip over them, and you'll be fine.
1.0 out of 5 stars uncontactable and bulb was damaged
I have tried for 3 days to contact this Co. with no result. Very flimsy. One bulb has manufacturing fault see pic. Ref. the couriers: The parcel itself was chucked over my neighbours fence [they didn't ring my bell]. DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY - I now see in reviews that others have had exactly same issues.
2.0 out of 5 stars Faulty on arrival
One of the bulbs didn’t even work, so sent it back. Also, the description states that the brightness is adjustable 0% to 100% which isn’t true. The lowest brightness is probably about 50%, so you can’t have it on 1% or 5% like 0% to 100% suggests. The two bulbs are not easily independently controllable, if at all.
4.0 out of 5 stars Affordable solution for Zoom classes and creators
I used this product for teaching classes on Zoom at home. I have a relatively small room (about 10 x 15 ft) and at 150W each, these lights are more than enough to fill the space. They are also adjustable in colour, from cooler to warm and are dimmable. All of these features are only available via the remote controls (which each take 2 AAA batteries - not included). Make sure you have 4 AAA batteries to get the most out of these lights. They also supply a bag to store everything when packed up, which isnt the most amazing quality but its nice to have.They come in a set of 2 with softboxes, LED bulbs and light stands. The light stands are not the best ever and can be quite unstable when extended. I wouldnt extend them all the way in order to maintain a bit of stability.Another point worth noting is that the softboxes are not interchangeable. You cannot use them to pair with something like a bowens mount light if you decide to upgrade your lights in the future. The opening on the back is not big enough and they are custom made for this setup.A couple of cons worth mentioning - (1) the length of the power cable is pretty short. You need power sockets (or an extension) more or less wherever you place the tripod. (2) each remote control controls...... well, im not sure to be honest. I had some issues uploading a video review but what it showed was that one remote controlled one light, and the other remote controlled both lights. Sometimes the remote struggled to talk to the light unless you pointed in right at the light from a specific angle. That's a shame because the remote controls are really the only way to control the features of the light and i dont understand why they couldnt make one remote to control 2 lights individually (i.e. with buttons like 'light 1 power, light 2 power, etc). It would save on the AAA batteries too.Do I recommend the lights? Yeah, probably. 150W LED lighting at 150W can be expensive and these are..... not. Thats a good thing. You get what you pay for but for a similar power you can pay double this price for just 1, without the softbox and stand, so the price is pretty amazing for what you get. Just make sure you have the AAA batteries and power outlets to make use of them
5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Value For Money
2 x Bi-Colour Lights with Soft Boxes2 X Remote Controls2 x StandsNow that is value for money, the best budget lighting by far for what you get in the box.It’s a relief being able change from Warm/Cool and opacity all with your remotes.Bonus: you can change both lights with the same remote control but they are extremely sensitive.10/10
