Questions & Answers

Shopper : Does this light come with a bulb or is the bulb sold separately?S S : You need to buy the bulbs. You'll want a few so you have backups. Click the Accessories link to find them.LINDA B : It does not come with a bulb. My thought is that there is no one bulb that fits all. I purchased bulbs separately.
Shara M : I take it the stands are sold separately? If so, which one is good to purchase also?S S : They are sold separately. It depends on how hard and often you use them. I don't use them everyday and they don't get a lot of abuse, so I buy the cheapest ones that are tall enough. Studio shooters that are busy all day ought to buy the best they can afford. By the way, these SV lights won't take a lot of abuse either. The socket is plastic. The screw tight nuts can strip. When they are set up, use gloves and adjust them from the metal hood, not the handle or they can break.
KARL Z : Is the SV logo on the reflector a sticker, or is it silk-screened/painted on?S S : Mine are stickers.

They're working out.

Preface: I have zero experience with videography & lighting. When recently I had to begin teaching music lessons from home via Zoom, I realized students needed to see my movements more distinctly. Affordable webcams, forget it. And affordable LED panels seemed to be sold out everywhere as well. I came across a recommendation to consider "old school" lighting. The tungsten bulbs I purchased to go with these reflectors produced considerable heat and burned out in a very short time, so I replaced them with two Rayna 30 watt LED bulbs & two small softboxes (held on with velcro). Students say they can see demonstrations better. Excessive heat is no longer an issue with the LED bulbs, and yes, they were quite a bit more $$, but they're reported to last for 5-10 years. (I hope that's the case.) The brackets that hold the reflectors are a bit of a challenge, but once set, they've held. The bracket could be improved, but I have significantly improved lighting for a relatively small investment.

Great Value

I didn't even know these lights existed until recently. For the money they are great. Nice warm 3200K light easily neutraled out as the bulbs are consistent. Not as bright as more expensive lights but very useful.
