The Smith-Victor FL550K 3-FlashLite Studio Kitfrom Smith-Victor FL550K 3-FlashLite Studio Kitprovides an out-of-the-box solution for photographers doing portraits, groups, or fashion. The kit is built around 3 FlashLite 120i 120Ws flash heads that have 60W modeling lamps and recycle to full power in 2.0 seconds. Each head comes with a sync cord. All of the heads come with an 8' Raven air-cushioned light stand. Two of the lights use the included 16" softboxes with speedrings, while placing the 3rd light on the kit's 5.3' boom arm with the included 10x24" strip softbox adds depth and dimension to your photos. Use it overhead as a hair light or tilt it backwards to light your background. You can even gel the softbox for creative effects. It all fits in the kit's soft carrying case. An Imaging with Light Guide is provided to get you started.

The FlashLite 120i has a guide number of 32 at 6.5', variable power with a 2-second recycling time to full power, a 60W modeling lamp, and a flash duration of 1/500 to 1/1000 second. The 55-degree beam spread can be widened and softened for a flattering look with the included softboxes. The lights have an umbrella mount with a built-in 3/8" to 5/8" receiver that accepts the included 8' air-cushioned light stands. The flash heads can be triggered by the kit's sync cords, the optical slave, or the test button on each head.

Q: 1. Hi! Can I use it in Argentina? (the voltage here is 220)

A: You will need a step-down transformer to convert the power from 220 to 110 volts AC.

Q: 2. Will this work with an argus c3 flash dome?

A: It can but its hit and miss weather your master flash registers with the sensor to get the slave flash effect to work. These flashs are a nice backup. They are cheap and you can find uses for them but dont rely on them to be a main light source.

A: The Smith-Victor 17" LED Desktop Studio comes with four (4) sweeps. A white, black, and gray background sweep are included, as well as a chroma key green sweep for dropping in your own background in post-production.

Q: 4. Hello- My wife picked up for me a Smith and Victor set of 3 stands but it came with only two of these bulbs so I need to order another and maybe a couple of extras. This is my first experience with this type of lighting so before I invest in more bulbs I have a question: I tried using the two working ones using my 600EX set to its lowest setting, bouncing up to trigger the lights. However, I must be doing something wrong because even though the lights are going off they are having no effect. I know this because I took a test shot without them and there is no difference. I assume its a timing/ synch issue between the lights and the exposure. Am I making some simple amateur mistake? Should I be using a synch cord? Do these types of lights even take one? Thanks in advance.

A: You would have to use the Canon flash in manual mode. The other lights will see the canon pre flash that it fires for exposure determination and fire with it. This will cause the external lights to fire before the shutter is open.
