LimoStudio (LED Super Bright) 1200W Output Photo Studio Umbrella Continuous Lighting Kit, 6500K Neutral Day Light, 10800 Lumen, CRI>95, White Soft Umbrella Diffuser & Black, Silver Reflector, LMS103

First, I am a beginner at videos and photography, however, I know ISO-9001 quality and performance. I just received the LimoStudio Photo Continuous Lighting Kit LMS103. Have had other lighting systems and by far this one is the best for the price. Remember, this system is low cost so handle with care and it will go far. Pro: * Good shipment of product and no issues. The box has NO dings or crushes. *Good sturdy stands. * Free one replacement bulb-purchased warranty for six months. *Good quality light sockets. *45W CFL bulbs for All three light stands. *Umbrellas are good quality compared to other lighting systems. *Product was delivered without any issues. No broken bulbs, torn umbrellas, etc... *The two carrying cases were fine for the price. Not sure why other reviews thought they were marginal. *The manual provided was good even though you didn't really need one. Easy setup. Con: *Plastic knobs did not feel strong. However, if you be careful tightening knobs it should be ok.( Remember these are low-cost products). *Depending on room size and room background, the bulb may not be bright enough for some situations. For me the lights are fine. My room is 12 x 12 and only one window with afternoon light. This three lighting kit was fine and produced great video and photo lighting. Summary: I will update this review as I get more experience with the LimoStudio lighting system. Overall, I believe I would buy this product again based on my first impressions, and price remembering users need take care when using, tear-down and re-setup overtime as with most “low-cost systems”. Side note: It’s NICE to get a product delivered and setup without ANY problems of broken pieces etc; due to lack of manufacturing quality control issues, as I have experienced in the past.

I'm a bit above an amateur photographer, but in general I'm a natural light photographer so I haven't had the need to invest much in lights. I have a couple remote flashes and trigger that I've been able to make work for some indoor shooting. As I needed to take better pictures of my paintings, I finally decided I needed to invest in a light kit. Something like this can cause hundreds or even thousands, which I just didn't want to do. I figured a small investment in the LimoStudio kit would either do the trick or convince me I needed to make a bigger investment. No need to keep you guessing - this set gets the job done. I included a photo of how I set the lights up to photograph a fairly reflective painting. I turned off all other lights (at night) and aimed the Limo lights towards the ceiling to bounce the light rather than point directly at the painting. This lit up the painting enough to where I was able to take a good picture without glare and at a reasonable exposure. Other reviewers have said the lights aren't very bright. I did not find that to be the case. In fact, if I had a light and a half, it would have worked perfect for me. Instead, one light was not quite bright enough and two lights was almost too much. No need to even bring in the third. Judging from photos from a few other reviewers, it looked like they were using this light set in combination with either natural light or other lights and even without the umbrellas. With so many competing lights it would be tough to manage. The tripods and swivel connectors aren't great quality, but they get the job done. The umbrellas are fairly thin, but they work fine ultimately. I had the tripods fully extended and they didn't have any tipping issues as some suggested. I wouldn't use these outside though. The cases aren't high quality, but again, they work. I like that the bulbs are meant to be stowed in their original packaging in the included bag so they will be pretty well protected. I appreciate the lights have long cords so I have a lot of flexibility in placement. All told, this set does everything it needs to at a great price. I don't know how well it will hold up over time, but I'm not too worried about it for a relatively small investment.

Out of the box one of the tall stands has a busted leg lock. I'll see how they handle a replacement. The stands are cheap, no doubt. The light sockets are cheap but not bad. The umbrellas are fine. Fact is, I really like this kit. The carrying cases are really a nice touch. Nothing about this kit gives an impression of being rugged, including the cases, so you'll have to go easy and take care of this gear. If you're the type that does that, it should serve well. Keep in mind that this is a low cost kit and the gear shows it. But I'm still glad I can get 3 point constant lighting this cheap. The lighting is effective, but don't be surprised to see that you'll have to keep the lights close in to get it right. Do not expect to set these up at longer distances as the effectiveness of the lights drops off pretty quickly as you pull them back. Also, my tests show that even though these bulbs are 45w, don't let that fool you. They are large bulbs and they are absolutely pure white. I think the bulbs are excellent. I compared them to a 100w CFL bulb I had and the white color was off quite a bit and it wasn't as bright as the stock bulbs. Then I tried a daylight CFL 60w lamp bulb and it too wasn't as bright even at higher wattage output and the color was not pure white. The kit bulbs are actually very good. The kit as stock will get you going but here's what I believe is needed for a truly flexible kit, which will require add ons and are available on the cheap on Amazon from limo. Double head sockets for each stand for light intensity flexibility, more kit bulbs to accommodate the double heads, another umbrella and another 86" stand. That will really do very well to complete this kit. This stock kit is the right price with enough gear to get you going for 3 point lighting. Just take extra care with it and that will help it last.

Good inexpensive set. Thanks to manufacturers.

Ya tiene bastante tiempo que estuve en busca de un buen paquete de luces para tomar fotos y videos, ya que donde vivo los precios están muy inflados y casi no venden todo junto Este paquete resolvió mis problemas, ya que cuenta con todo lo que necesitaba y a un excelente precio La calidad de los tripies es buena aun que se nota que es un producto no tan caro Los focos alumbran de manera excelente, son ahorradores y casi no se calientan, evitando causar incomodidad si tienes un modelo o estas grabando por largo tiempo Incluye una bolsa de tela donde puedes meter las caja de tus focos (los cuales vienen con una protección de unicel) para poder moverlos sin preocupación a que se rompan, y claro también la bolsa/maleta larga donde puedes meter los tripies y los paraguas para facilitar el transporte de todo el equipo
