Another satisfy purchase made with XPRO. This light kit is one of the best continuous light kit on the market and it cost way less than the spiderlite.
After reading numerous reviews and raves with the continuous lighting systems I've decided to do a little research. I've purchased from XPRO a while back and have been very satisfied with the quality and the price of their product.
To make the story short here is what me and my fellow peers have to say about these light.
1. With higher wattage bulbs, these lights works as good as a set of $1000+ strobes.
2. They stay cool for hours so the objects or customers doesn't burn up under the lights. They are great for studio portrait photography and even product photography.
3. Replacement bulbs are way cheaper than tungsten bulbs.
4. Light weight and very easy to set up.
5. Had several electric spike and the builts in fuse cut off protected my light kit each time.
6. Free diffuser caps simulates soft box feature.
7. What is sweet is that for a limited time it comes with 8 x 5500 Kelvin Day light balanced photo bulbs that cost $19 - $20 each in stores. The photo bulbs itself pays for the light kit.
8. Two free light stands just made this package deal even better and affordable.
9. We all felt that this light kit should cost more.
Me and my fellow peers highly recommend XPRO Continuous light kit if you are new to continuous lighting systems. |
Great value! Perfect for what we needed.

| We got these to take "professional quality" photos of our baby girls without all the expense of Studio photographs. Originally we purchased a boom kit, but of course the lights were much too hot. These lights are nice and cool, and we can set the white-setting on the camera to adjust to the flourescent hue. The stands and lights are very good quality. The diffuser screens don't work at all, but we weren't planning on using them anyway. Keep that mind though it they are important to you. Other than that they're great! |

Comes VERY well packaged, easy to set up. Bulbs are free and you get what you pay for... be very careful screwing them in, the bulb base is not very well attached. No biggee though, a four pack at Home Depot is $[...]. (look for 5500k rated bulbs).
Good customer service, there was a mix up in shipping methods and after I received a preship e-mail I was able to call and have the method changed.
2-16" reflectors and the equivalent of just over 300w of light/unit. The diffuser is quite easy to install if you lay the head face up :)
Update... I've had this Kit for almost six months now, I've upgraded the bulb wattage and built softboxes with rip stop nylon diffusers. By changing bulbs I can go from 300w/head to 1200w/head.
The only problem I've had is the tilt mechanism was not designed for the slight weight increase of the softboxes, simple solution, tape a styrofoam spacer on the light stand :)

Very pleased with the value this kit provides.
