Q: 1. Can the light level be adjusted, or is it always on ?

A: The Raya Octa Fluorescent 7-Socket Fixture has dual rocker switches on their back panels, each of which control on/off function for 3 or 4 lamps allowing the creation of a light ratio. You can either turn one switch on to use 3 lamps, the other switch to use 4 lamps, or both switches to use all 7 lamps at once.

Q: 2. Could I use one, two or three Savage 50W LED bulbs (B&H # SA50WLED) in some of the seven fluorescent sockets on this light head? Thank you!

A: While the Savage 50W LED bulbs have the same Edison base as the fluorescent lamps included with this fixture, they have not be tested by the manufacturer as being fully compatible. Your results may vary.

Q: 3. which LED lamps would be a good fit for this fixture?

Q: 5. Will this be safe to use with a 150Watt Equivalent 20W led bulb?

A: I use a 60w LED equivalent to 250w and have had no issues.

Q: 6. Can this be used as continuous lighting for videography purposes?

A: From a customer stand point, I have enjoyed using the Octa Fluorescent 7- socket 2 light softbox kit due to the features of using the full spectrum of lighting or cutting back half depending on my level of light needed for photography sessions. There was no change in lighting temperature during usage and it gives a nice overall lighting even if used for videography.

Q: 7. will this fixture accept other soft boxes or just the included one?

A: I believe only the included one. It takes a while to set up. Each of the spokes that tent the softbox are inserted through little sleeves down the length of the softbox and then into a hole or cavity in the face of the light fixture. Once fully assembled it's there to stay. This softbox does not collapse like most others. So it continually takes up a great deal of space. It took me several minutes to set it up and I imagine it would take the same to take it down. I bought this as a starter light for my 14 y/o daughter who is just getting into portrait photography. It's great for her and would be a great inexpensive fixture to have laying around a studio. Just know that it will take up some space. I think the photo above showing the softbox off of the light is misleading. I don't think that's possible. as the fixture itself is what gives it it's rigidity.

Q: 8. Can this be used for flat lays?

A: Yes this light kit can be used to shoot flat lays.

Q: 9. To speed setup, can the domes be set up then just put them on the stands and add the bulbs at a close location w big suv?

A: The softboxes in the Raya Octa Fluorescent 7-Socket Fixture 2-Light Softbox Kit can be attached to the light fixture in advance and placed on the stands when you are ready to shoot.

Q: 10. Can I swamp the soft box on these lights with others soft boxes using a speed ring or umbrellas?

A: Unlikely unless the other softboxes are Raya products - this doesn't have a Bowens mount. You could likely rig an umbrella
