Comments about Lamp ECT PhotoFlood Lamp 500w 120v (3200k):

I'd be lying if I said these were good for anything. Terrible lifespan (first bulb died after 2 hours of use). Already looking for replacements for the others even though they haven't died yet. Not daylight corrected. Seriously it's just a big ordinary light bulb. I'm sure to find some decent replacements at [...].

Depends on what your looking for...

Yes, I would recommend this to a friend

Comments about Lamp ECT PhotoFlood Lamp 500w 120v (3200k):

I bought the light to add in to my hot light setup. Same wattage and color temp, thought it would fit right in. Unfortunately I didn't consider the diffusion of a regular size bulb compared to the other lights in my system. So as a result this particular light is about 2 stops darker than the other 3... not what I had i mind and too hot to get a good working distance from subject.
Depending on your needs, it may be a great light. I just didn't think it all the way through.

I bought these as spares for my newly purchased Smith Victor KT1000, 2 Light 1000 watt Thrifty Photoflood Intermediate Kit with Umbrellas. I haven't used them, but the ones that came with the lamps are great, so I expect these will be too.

Comments about Lamp ECT PhotoFlood Lamp 500w 120v (3200k):

I purchased 4 of these bulbs and 3 of the 4 have blown out after less than a few hours of use each. 2 of the 4 produced a horrible smell of burning metal when turned on for more than 5 minutes. That horrible smell filled the entire studio making it impossible for me to shoot anymore photos. Horrible experience and product.
