Shopper : Why Did You Choose This?SANDRA K : As an animal shelter volunteer photographer I needed a continuous light source. For the most part dogs adjust quickly to learning strobes are OK but for those dear souls that are terrified of everything I hope this light will be one less thing they have to over come.

Average Light

I've only had one job to use this light. It is fairly bright, but cold in temperature. Easy to fix in Lightroom with grey card and white balance. It works okay for one person as subject, but would not be strong enough for multiple people/groups. Only used without the octabox, since that drastically reduced the light output. A negative is that there's no adjusting light remotely. Another negative is the additional cost to purchase battery to use in remote locations. I didn't buy battery yet so I don't know if light emits same power on battery charge. Ordering with Adorama was easy on their website-would recommend buying other photo gear with them.
