Questions & Answers

Dan C : What apertures can one expect to be working with using these 85W lamps and the diffusion material?John S : It depends on your ISO, the shutter speed you wish to use, the distance from the lights to the subject...I did a foot shoot, ISO 200, and shot anywhere from f/1.4 to f/11 without issue, but the lights were also fairly close to the subject.

Limited Applications

I picked up the JTL kit hoping that it would provide enough power to light a white backdrop for a local shoot, but was disappointed. The kit is nice and small, which is a plus if you have to transport it to a shoot location, and the bulbs can run for quite a while without generating too much heat. That was about all this kit has going for it. The reflectors don't leave enough space around the large bulbs to be effective, narrowing the beam but with too little power to use as a spot light. The reflectors are not threaded, so they slide around on the holders too much and are prone to coming loose. The light holders themselves just feel cheap and flimsy. I will likely send these back and swap them for something with a wider dispersion angle. The JTL's could be used as fill lights for an interview subject if you had them really close to the subject, but that's about it.

Basic Kit on the Go

Just what we needed, and worked out of the box. We do do alot of shipping our gear around so the size of the bulbs was bigger then I thought, but still reasonable. They will be very useful.

About JTL Two Fluorescent Light Kit

The JTL Two-light Fluorescent Light Tent Kit includes Two Fluorescent 85W Bulbs, Two Angle Adjustable Light Holders, Two 7" Reflectors, Two Backlight Stands and One 15x15 Photo Light Tent.

JTL compact fluorescent lighting provides the necessary supplemental light source to help ensure the most accurate results. Using JTL compact fluorescent lights make studio photography and video simple, and easy. JTL compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) are ideal for indoor studios such as, digital portrait, commercial photography/ video, or TV interviews. CFLs are not designed for outdoor use.

The color-rendering index (CRI) is a quantitative measure of the ability of a light source to reproduce the colors of various objects faithfully in comparison with natural light source. Light sources with a high CRI are desirable in color-critical applications such as photography and cinematography. The CRI measurement of JTL CFLs is no less than 90 that, which is the required measurement for photography and cinematography usage.

JTL Two Fluorescent Light Kit Features

  • Day Light balanced color temperature: 5500K
  • Compact and Easy set up: Fit into existing E-27 light fixtures formerly used for incandescent lamps
  • Energy efficiency: CFLs use 20 to 33 percent of the power of equivalent incandescent lamps
  • Luminous efficacy: The luminous efficacy of CFL sources is typically 50 to 70 lumens per input watt of electric power, versus 8 to 17 lm/W for incandescent lamps
  • Reduced Heat: As incandescent lamps are replaced by CFLs, the heat produced due to lighting will be reduced
  • Long life: The average rated life is between 8 and 15 times that of incandescent
  • Less cost: extended lifetime with lower energy used
