Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. Would this kit be suitable for macro flash photography?

A: The LumiQuest Mini Lighting Kit (B&H # LUMK) is designed to diffuse the spread of light from both a hot shoe flash and a DSLR's cameras built-in flash. The issue with macro photography is the minimum focus distance required for macro photography usage needs, as well as the physical length of the lens, as a long lens can block light emitted from a built-in flash or a camera-mounted flash. As we cannot estimate the spread of light from the LumiQuest Mini Lighting Kit, while the kit may be helpful, we cannot guarantee it would be a perfect solution for macro photography usage needs. However, it would be a good option for portraiture, standard photography or (some) wide angle photography usage needs.

Q: 2. Will this work with the Impact SP-UM fixture?

Q: 5. Can you use LED bulbs with this?

A: Unfortunately, no, you cannot use LED bulbs in the Impact Octa Fluorescent Kit. The Impact Octa Fluorescent Kit is specifically designed for spiral CFL fluorescent lamps up to 85W maximum. LED bulbs generally have a heatsink at its base, and 4 LED bulbs this close together might not fit and could cause heat issues. CFL bulbs also have two advantages, they have a wider beam angle so they can fill the soft box completely and produce softer diffused light.

Q: 9. What kind battery do you recommend for Practilite 602?

A: I would go with the VariZoom S7101 D-Tap XLR cable and the Dracast V-mount Battery. The other alternative would be to plug the regular power cable into a Paul C Buff Vagabond Li-Ion Battery. It all depends on whether you have other uses for V-mount battery or not.

Q: 10. Is it possible to peg gels on the rim of these lights?

A: While you could use wooden clothes pins to attach gels to the outer lip of the reflector, it is not recommend as this would be unsafe. A safer solution would be to use a filter holder in front of the light. Please see the link for reference: a href= http://bhpho.to/1hMMuds target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1hMMuds/a
