Bought these last week and have used them several times and they have performed well so far. I am truly impressed that such affordability could produce great results! They work well on slave and have fired every time. I like that you can control the output of the light from 1/4 to full power. Definitely a great start-up kit for beginners but would recommend this for continuous use in small studios, like mine, as well.

I brought this kit as a starter kit years ago and I still use it. It's prefect for doing protraits in client's homes. I have upgraded my lighting but still use this kit more than the other lights. They are my power money makers more than the higher price lights I use because of the ease of travel and setup in homes.

I wanted a basic light set to start my studio and this is just right for doing that. The monolights work well and are plenty bright. It's great to have the modeling lights and remote slave built in. It was easy to set up and the stands and umbrellas seems sturdy enough to me. The case is big enough to carry most of my camera equipment.

was looking for a good starter kit that I could use for fill lights once I decided to upgrade. So far I couldn't be happier with this kit. For the money, I definitely think it's worth it. the light stands are a little flimsy but as long as you don't trip over the cords, you should be fine. it's also nice how everything packs neatly into the case and still leaves you room for plenty of accessories.

I bought this kit to add to my existing BF160's. The BF160's are awesome little lights, and the case from this kit fits 4 of them with stands (2 from this kit, two smaller other brand), 4 umbrellas (1 LTU40BC, 1 other brand), 4 barndoors (LTBBD), and 2 gel sets (an older version of LTBHC). It is a tight fit, but way more lights in a smaller package than most other portable lighting kits. It looks like they've improved the umbrella mount since the last time I bought BF160's, but not enough. It is still loose. Bring binder clips to secure your umbrellas. The stands are sturdy and pneumatic, so you don't have to worry about the light suddenly crashing down if someone releases the lock. The stands I received are 7.5', not 7' which is a little bonus. They will nicely double as background stands.

only thing to complain about is that the fuse wore out after almost 10 uses and b/c this is my fist set idk if that is normal or not. its a great starter kit with everything you need, minus a hot plate adapter.

I really like this kit. I am still waiting for the umbrellas to be shipped (still on backorder) works great with the softbox and barndoor. Case is sturdy and has room for extra items. Got as a gift and I think it is a great starter kit. Model light runs a little hot so be careful.

Decent product. The build quality for the stands is OK. [...]
