Mine came in the mail today. Trial studio shots came out great. The light has plenty of power for single-subject portraits, using the umbrella. I often dialed down to 1/4 power to avoid blowing highlights.
As other reviewers have said, product is sturdy and serious looking. Not a flimsy, cheap light. I got mine in the package with stand and umbrella. For a negligible increase in price, they are great, usable accessories.
The description is in error, as mentioned before. Mine does *not* have audible ready indicator or variable modeling light, but it *does* have a 1/16 minimum setting, instead of the advertised 1/8.
For the price, absolutely no reason not to get one today.
I use these lights for portrait work on site in client's home. I've also used them for portrait set ups at wedding halls. The work great, are light weight and are very easy to use.
I'd recommend these to anyone wanting a good portable set up. Good stuff.

It's got a lot more output than you would think. For the price, nothing comes close to it.
In the future, I plan to buy more powerful ones and use this for a fill, so the kit grows with the space I am using.
We needed a few accent lights for a very large event. [...]. I couldn't be happier, very inexpensive, all the features found in much more expensive lights, I will be buying more!

Great 1 to 2 person portrait light or fill light.
Picture and description is misleading, it looks like small cheap plastic body but is metal is has rugged build, and is larger than expected. Mine does not have audible ready beeper, and modeling light is not variable, I have checked reviews on Internet the same is true for them, so I did not expect these features. I can only assume this is a typo in description.
Power is as expected for this of light 150Ws, it puts out a little more than my Canon 580EX II flash. The output is a lot broader/controlled/softer than 580 flash. Switches and control are sturdy, as is mount for modifiers. I have used 1000 dollar strobes so I think I have a good perspective. This light exceeded my expectations on every front. I will be purchasing more flashpoint strobes very soon. Great bang for the buck.
1 light portrait Flashpoint 320
