I am very happy with this product. The soft box quality is extremely good and much heavier duty than I thought. The set up was easy since everyhing is built into the light head. Saved me money from having the buy an adapter ring. The lights are hot though and I think I may try fluorescents. Very happy overall though.

Where do I start? I bought this item (Westcott Spiderlite 3200k Continuous Output Large Lighting Kit) [...] and reliability. However the product itself is a nightmare. I am still sweating and I think I lost 200 lbs to mount this lightbox.the lightbox came with no instructions. Just a sheet of paper that tells you you need the speed ring (you don't need the speed ring because the support rods have to be inserted in the holes of the lights and I almost broke my fingers to install it).Anyway just to let you know that the product is very difficult to set up and also difficult to put back in the bag; in fact after my experience in setting it up i don't think i will ever put it in the bag. The pro of this item is that it contains everything you need for a light. It comes with the softbox, it is very big so you could shoot about 2 people or 3. The spiderlite is included with the support stand and the bulb comes with it. Anyway I still wished I bought a chimera; if you are looking for versatility and an easy product to move, this is certainly not the right one. If you are going to set it in your studio and don't need to carry it around then it is a good option.
