With a quick setup, umbrella-type design, moderate power, and soft output, the ALZO 200 CFL Softbox Light Kit for Photographyis a versatile light source in the studio or on location. The kit contains a model 200 LED fixture which takes full advantage of the output from the two included 5500K daylight-balanced LED bulbs by holding them horizontally to expose more surface area rather than pointing them out vertically towards the front of the fixture. Although the bulbs together draw only minimal power, they produce the equivalent of a 600W tungsten flood. The light output has a CRI rating of 91, an indicator of accuracy in the rendering of color. The kit also includes a 27 x 27" softbox with a clever umbrella-like design and a removable front diffuser.

Q: 9. I am unfamiliar with ball heads, but I’ve had a desktop LED lamp hinge go floppy after a few uses, so I’m wondering: Are the ball heads strong enough that the lamps can be stored in the position shown (which is at an angle, so more strained than if it were upright) without giving way after a few weeks, becoming floppy and therefore useless?

A: It is possible over time, if you store them sideways they will not strain the ball head

Q: 10. how bright are they compared to the sun? Can I shoot a day scene at night indoors and use these lights to mimic the sun?

A: They are fairly bright and, unless you are lighting a very large space, would probably work fine. Certainly direct light from them would give quite a high noon glare -- but your actors wouldn't appreciate staring into these things -- so use the umbrellas!!
