Like many things, you get what you pay for. This is a great kit that includes all you need if you're trying to get started with lighting equipment. It's very affordable and the quality of light is actually pretty good. Perfect for basic budget set ups or even just trying to take photos for eBay listings. I would't recommend it for anything too professional as the material seems too cheap to be disassembling and carrying around a lot. It's one of these things I think you should just set up and not move around too much. The stands are actually fairly sturdy with pretty nice adjustable heights and angles. The little counterweight bag for the overhead lamp is very weak, I would not recommend use it by itself. Try to find a reusable grocery bag and fill it heavy stuff (I had some sand from my backyard) and use that instead. No idea on the lifetime of these generic bulbs but they seem bright and product nice lighting. Overall, would definitely recommend for the indie, budget, or amateur user.Read full review

View the picture to see what my bulbs looked like after a month of a half. Didn’t drop it, hit it, shake it. Maybe the heat of the bulbs themselves? Trying to reassemble them made it obvious to me what low quality they are. Further, when I got them all reassembled and turned it on, the fuse blew. I suppose I’ll pick it up while I’m picking up replacement bulbs. Considering the cost of having to supply decent bulbs, there are better deals out there.

I'm sure that the people who make this kit find it the simplest thing in the world to set up. It's not. So having a bit more guidance than a sheet listing all the parts would be oh-so-useful. Once it's together, it's easy to think, "Ah, I get it." Before then, there are people whom you wish you could hurt.

This works well for this purpose. We set up a gated horizon-less curved for white background shots and it performs admirably. The only negative are the bulbs. One of which arrived burned out and within 48 hours another 4 had burned out. I replaced these 5500K CFLs with 5000K dimable leds from wallyworld and the setup works as advertised.
