Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Will this support tungsten bulbs?

A: Unfortunately, the Raya Octa Fluorescent 7-Socket Fixture 1-Light Softbox Kit is only suitable for fluorescent lamps or LED lamps.

Q: 2. 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

Q: 3. 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: 4. Is there a max wattage rating? per socket? total wattage? Are the sockets plastic or ceramic/porcelain? Will it accommodate a mix of different wattage bulbs?

A: The total wattage the light fixture is rated for is 350 watts in fluorescent bulbs.The sockets are plastic not ceramic.

Q: 5. Is there a max wattage rating? per socket? total wattage? Are the sockets plastic or ceramic/porcelain? Will it accommodate a mix of different wattage bulbs?

A: No wattage rating is specified. The sockets are plastic. I wouldn't put anything but CFL's in them. The soft box would overheat if you use photo floods..

Q: 6. What is the output equivalent of these lights when compared to the Tungsten standard, i.e., 1K, 2K, etc.?

A: LED lights in general and like the Dracast Palette TrueColor LED4000 Soft Panel are not rated in watts. LED lights are rated in Lumen, Lux and or FootCandles. The rating on this light is, 2800K: 994 fc / 10,700 Lux at 3.3' / 1 m 5600K: 825 fc / 8890 Lux at 3.3' / 1 m My guess is it is like a 500-750 watt tungsten light. But does not have the same throw.

Q: 7. 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: 8. 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: 9. 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: 10. can i plug it into 220volt supply?

A: This is a multi-voltage light fixture, so you can use it on 100-240VAC.
