Comments about Adorama Adorama AC Slave Flash, Guide number 90 at ISO 100.:
For the price, these are great little lights. I'm using them in a softbox I made and they provide nice light. Since they're not adjustable, I increase/decrease by either moving the lights closer/farther or by removing/adding layers of my diffusion material.
Only problem I've had is getting them to sync. I use on-camera flash to fire them and I've found that I have to bounce this flash or the slaves don't sync. It's not a huge problem but it can be aggravating.
Bottom line is that these are a great addition to my small studio.

I have two of these slaves to light the background of my studio setup. Each is screwed into a worklight from Lowe's [$]. They work great with mini-barndoors or simply modify with a small piece of nylon cloth to soften the output. You can't beat them for the price!

I'm impressed by the results I get with these low price lights. I bought 4 of them and use them in a 3 or 4 light setup for perfect white isolations but tried them for standard and lowkey portraits too. They never failed to trigger so far (2 weeks usage). I didn't have to do any work in photoshop to have pure white backgrounds.

When used with on-camera ETTL the pre-flash triggers the slave and totaly confuses the camera flash. I found it mandatory to switch the (Canon 580) flash to manual mode and then it worked fine.

Great value for money on this basic high output slave flash. You cant change the output but for this price would you expect it too?

Although we are just starting out we have had noting but great success with this product. Bought 2 just to experiment and find they are a great accessory light for fill, hair, or background in portrait work. Never misfired, not even once, and have been dropped more than a hot rock. Great product and if you ever decide to stop making them please let us know because we'll stock up on them for sure.
