Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 45W Fluorescent Bulbs:

agree with what has been said before. Important to note: you cannot take the reflector off. Which is a pity, as this head would have made a nice lightsource for my Hilites.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 45W Fluorescent Bulbs:

Nice head design but very flimsy and poorly designed mounting bracket.

I sure would like to see someone build a lamp like this with an intelligently designed, professional quality mounting bracket. I guess I will have to do it myself.

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 45W Fluorescent Bulbs:

I'm using two Flashpoints to light a weekly video podcast with a single host. They're light, easy to move around and easy to set up. I considered buying LED lights, but the Flashpoints put out more light at a much lower cost. It's easy to control the light output with the individual switches for each bulb.

My only concern is that they're fairly flimsy, although well-built. If I had to carry them from location to location, they'd probably get damaged easily. But, for a fixed studio, they're great video lights at an excellent price!

Comments about Flashpoint Flashpoint Cool Light 4, 16" Reflector with Four 45W Fluorescent Bulbs:

Better than expected, I am very pleased.Quick setup and adaptable to many shooting styles. A nice powerful unit without the heat. Also makes a good modeling light for dedicated flash systems. Light quality and white balance are excellent, really nothing I say bad about the light. A handy inexpensive addition to the studio, well worth the price.
