Q: 1. What does this fixture come with any lens?

A: Unfortunately, this fixture doesn't include a lens. Here is a link to the available lenses: https://bhpho.to/2oEfiz2

Q: 2. How can you get it fit to a studio strobe with a 7 Bowens reflector for lower the light?

A: They are trim to fit.

Q: 3. 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: 4. Will the umbrella rod on the FF-S1 still fit with this adapter in place?

A: Yes, as you can see from this photo. . . https://bit.ly/3f2cJjK . . . the umbrella hole is not obscured by the addition of this product to the FF-S1.

Q: 5. Will this work with the Impact SP-UM fixture?

Q: 7. Is this light about the same size as an Arri 300w tungsten or closer to an Arri 650w tungten? I need to travel with it.

A: I don't use tape...One way to put ND on a window is cut to size, wet down the window with plain water and sponge, press the gel on the glass and wipe/press down with a squeegee to smooth it.

Q: 10. What is the tungsten equivalent output? Is it powerful enough as a key light for stills photography?

A: The actual measured tungsten equivalent is about the same as 400W fresnel light. To put this into perspective it means when compared to common 300W fixtures the Practilite602 is little bit more powerful. For example common tungsten fresnel @ 300W outputs 2500lx in flood and 6500lx in spot whereas Practilite602 outputs 3100lx and 10000lx, not to mention it outputs about 15000lx in Boost Mode @ 4500K.If it is enough as a key light it depends on the subject matter, the scene and of course on the sensitivity you are willing to use: the smaller the scene the more light will you have, as for normal portraiture it will do fine but remember if you add a softbox/chimera you will lose half the light output which can be compensated by moving the light closer to the subject, if possible. As this light is focusable you are able to direct and shape the light without any additional modifiers.
