Hello Everyone,

I am making this post about a Studio Continuous Lighting Kit by Fovitec I bought for use since I am a beginner. However while I intend to make good use of it I have some conerns. I knew what I was paying for, and understood it was a continuous lighting kit but I am a bit regretful I bought it before seeing the video that showed how it was assembled. I am not sure if I should work with it the best I can or sell it and get a better continuous lighting kit.

Here are my concerns,

  • The Softboxes where hard to get on and I won't be removing them so they will stay on.
  • There is a inner defuser that should I put on will touch the light bulbs used. I am concerned the fabric light burn because the bulbs will touch it.
  • The Case itself opens on the side with the carrying handles on top, which is awkward.
  • I may have to keep the soft boxes and lightbulbs attached when transporting, and just keep the stands, power cords and the hanging soft box with the hanging weight inside when transporting.
  • It comes and used standard 45W photo fluorescent spiral daylight light bulbs. For those who have used this kit, what are some other lightbulbs to buy for it. Are there LED lights that would work with it?
  • Has anyone used this for photography and had good success with it?

unfortunately i only have time to make video at night.

Clamp light like this one ?

For the light bulb, how many wattage do i need for a small room (10 feet x 9 feet)?

I think i can buy one cheap diffuser, but i don't know the differences between the one that looks like umbrella, or softbox

If i can only buy one, which 1 is better?

Thanks

Just looking around, tungsten kits seem a lot pricier. What’s the benefit of them over fluorescents, something like this?

I was a bit worried that it's too old, and one of the points they were telling me is that if I want to upgrade the lens down the road, Panasonic and Olympus lenses are compatible. They want $140 for the camera and $90 for the kit lens. I definitely would like to stay under $250, and closer to $200 is better.

I'm taking pictures of soap, and other bath products that I make.

For lighting, I have this StudioPro kit. I've actually wondered if it might be a little bit of overkill, but it seems to give decent output. Hard to tell though on my point & shoot.

I do a beauty channel so my lighting setup will be different than the look you are going for. I looked up Chael and it looks like he at least uses a ring light and a background light. You can get a lot of use out of a cheaper lighting system like this one. I’ll try to link you; also what camera are you planning to use? https://www.amazon.com/Fovitec-Photography-Continuous-Equivalent-Softboxes/dp/B00KRN0SEI/ref=as_sl_pc_tf_til?tag=lorryhill-20&linkCode=w00&linkId=b7e44016ad0d59a26b439e43e9bce276&creativeASIN=B00KRN0SEI
