Review Summary





The body of this unit is less than 5" deep and constructed of solid metal. The competitors are constructed of mainly plastic. The metal surface of the light facing towards the inside of the soft box is highly reflective. Any light falling backwards is again reflected back into the soft box allowing for maximum output of the lights.
Built in points allow for direct attachment of a soft box onto the Spiderlite itself. This not only cuts down the cost of the purchase of an adapter ring, but also provides the end user with fewer parts to carry or lose and quicker set up. The competition does not.
The unit provide 3200 degrees Kelvin of constant light at 120 volts of power. Both the 500 and 1000 watt lamps used in the Westcott Spiderlite (same as used in the current Photoflex Starlite) provide great results in filling the soft box with a very even spread of light due to its unique design.
