Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 24W Fluorescent Bulbs, 480 Watt Equivalent.:
Good value, I like Adorama's ( flashpoint ) gear. This light is ok for portraits if everyone is still but that's most continuous lighting, should work great when I get into video.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 24W Fluorescent Bulbs, 480 Watt Equivalent.:
Nice units for the price. I bought 4 to use on a video shoot with a Canon EOS 5D. The color was great, but light output seems low. The design of the reflector combined with the placement of the bulbs do not do appear to add to the efficiency of the light output. They seemed to produce about half a stop more when I attached the included diffusers to the reflectors. [...] I replaced the bulb/tubes with Ottlites and that improved output a little. The units are very light weight and easy to set up on 5/8" receivers. There is no way to remove the reflectors and they're 16" in diameter making them more difficult to transport. I plan to buy a few more.
