EMART Photography Umbrella, 400W 5500K Lighting kit for Vedio, Studio-2Pack

Worked out great for the show I needed them for. Ended up getting higher wattage light bulbs but other than that they were easy set up and cheaper than some most.

We originally bought these lights for photography but now we use them to create great lighting for our huge puzzles! The light quality is excellent and the lights are easy to set up and move around. They do take up a little bit of space so they can get in the way but they’re lightweight but not flimsy so they’re easy to put away or move around. Overall they have exceeded expectations and are multipurpose lights for a great price.

I purchased this lighting kit because I'm a blogger and was looking for a way to add more light to my photos. This umbrella light was the perfect solution. It gives off lots of light without being too harsh. I love that adjustable stand. It can adjust to well beyond 6 feet which is great for helping to control how close or far away you want your light source to the object that you're photographing. Using this umbrella light has greatly increased the quality of my cooking vlogs as well. This lighting kit is definitely worth the investment whether you're a pro-blogger like me or photographer or someone who just likes taking pictures and filming videos. The quality is really good. I've only had my light two weeks but it's gotten plenty of use already. I will definitely be purchasing more of these kits.

While this product represents a good value, I'm concerned with it's overall build construction. Arriving on time and in a package marked "fragile" everything inside was well packed and undamaged. The CFL bulbs are 5500k, which is in the daylight spectrum and casts a clean blue-white hue. The bulbs use 43 watts each, which is equal to a 110 watt incandescent bulb in lumens. Additionally, CFLs take a few moments to achieve full brightness, even longer in colder conditions, since you are electrically charging a fluorescing gas inside. Translation: give these fixtures a couple minutes before determining if they're bright enough for your intended use. The overall value is improved by the ease of use, specifically the tripods. After about three minutes, everything was set up and turned on. While you don't get a carrying bag or case, all the components fold down to a manageable size and are very easy to store or transport. Also, there's threaded caps on each tripod that come off and expose a standard camera mount post. Very handy if natural light is adequate and you want to mount a second or third cam. The build quality is the only real concern here. Thus, 4 stars instead of 5 for a very usable $40 kit. The locking points on the tripod are plastic and would easily break if overtightened. The same holds true with the light/diffuser mount, and in the outdoors a stiff wind could cause failure at the attachment points. The tripod post doesn't fully insert into the light mount, I'll post a pic. Not a huge deal if all you're doing is setting these up once for a shoot without any intention of multiple repositioning. I would've liked to see a deeper recess in the mount for a more secure attachment. But hey, for less than $40 I'm thrilled with the outcome. The light is clean and crisp, and the quality of my videos are pics are improved. Since we're only using them to shoot YouTube vids in the house, I feel like I'll get a decent lifespan from this kit, which is why I'm giving it a 4 star overall rating.

This is an excellent product, especially at the price point. I use this a small my lighting source for a Mixer stream and it does exactly what I need. I need good lighting for a green screen setup and this does the trick without any issues. One of the bulbs came burnt out, likely an issue during shipping (although they were packed very well). I reached out to Emart and they sent two replacement bulbs, extremely fast response time from customer care. Very easy to set up, took five minutes tops to get them unboxed and ready for positioning. The metal umbrella prongs may bend easily, so be cautious with them.

Details: Everything you need for soft diffused lighting. Stands are metal, but very light weight. Rod holder plastic and light weight. Umbrella translucent with 50% reflectivity. Non dimming simple on/off switch. Bulb fluorescence, 5500k as advertised. Everything is designed to work together. Experience: Nothing really stands out about this set, Very basic and functional. Light weight, easy to assemble, soft true white light. Though fluorescent bulb it is non flicker at all standard video shutter rates. Cons: I don't think it's anywhere near 400w, which makes the Non dimming a non issue. No bag. Conclusion: For the price it is a good choice, but I'll be replacing with something more substantial with a brighter bulb, that is dimmable and has a storage bag..

I found this set to be well suited for travel if you have a carry bag and really well suited for product photography, especially clothing. However, its rare to find affordable kits with enough daylight temp wattage to get the job done. I prefer to use the bulbls pictured that are Limo Studio 6500K daylight nuetral CFL, 105 Watts: Equals to 400W. These bulbls are EXTRA LARGE MAGNUM SIZED that fit the set fine and are avaliable here on eBay...except that the umbrella rods barely touch them. If you're OCD then that might be an issue, but I find it to be a minor inconvenience, and the socket assemblies hold them just fine. The bulbs that are included in the set have no such issues, I wwould highly recommend this set.

Me gustó mucho este kit. Es sumamente fácil de armar, ligero para transportar y los paraguas difuminan la luz de una manera muy suave y natural. Los trípodes son estables y cumplen perfectamente su función. Una herramienta excelente para mejorar la calidad de cualquier espacio de trabajo.

Justo lo que esperaba, calidad buena, funcionalidad y resistencia. Es un buen producto para empezar en la fotografía

Excelente producto

My expectations were somewhat low because of the low price. However, I am very impressed with the two umbrella tri-pod lights. No extra's were required. Even the light bulbs were included. The tripod itself is adjustable in every conceivable way. It is lightweight. The umbrellas are great. Easy to erect and dismantle. Very pleased with the purchase.

Llegó sin problemas, el único detalle es que siento que la potencia queda a deber. Para empezar o sí se tiene poco presupuesto considero que es buena opción.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND. I've been a professional artist for a few years now and I really struggled with the lighting of my online sale photos until I purchased this lighting kit. They are light weight, pretty sturdy and also super easy to set up coming with everything needed for immediate use. And they're not just great for taking photos, I've started having one set up fully extended behind and over my head while I paint, it's better than any twisting work lamp or overhead light I've used before. Definitely 5 stars!
