Questions & Answers

Jim N : What is the the thread size of the set screw? Thanks.
Amanda N : Is this adaptable with a Photo Studio Lighting 800 Watt Red Head Continuous Light w Dimmer Controller?SEIDLITZ T : Can't find your Photo Studio head, but this adapter is just a STRONG slightly larger than 5/8" tube with two lock screws... one requires a screwdriver, the other is a finger tightened screw. This can change a male to a female lighting connection.CATHERINE S : Hi Amanda, I'm sorry i can't answer your question specifically because I bought the adapter for a peculiar situation. I had a light stand someone gave me and I just took a chance the adapter would work and it did. I would suggest measuring the two pieces you need to connect to be sure. All the best, Taf SchaeferPhilip A : Based on the picture of the light listed, the light comes with a female 5/8" receiver. This adapter would be used if you wanted to connect a 5/8" male spud to another 5/8" spud.
Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?JOHN P : It was suggested for my setupBRAD Q : For high ceilings.

Exactly what I need

I use the converter with my Comet Twinkle lights to attach large softboxes. It handles the the weight of a 5 feet softbox safely.
