Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

As a photographer with over 30 years experience, I can tell you that these lights are simply awesome. There have been many reviews from what I can only assume are drooling morons about the socket quality, the stands quality, the low light levels. Guess what? They are $60.00 bucks, not $1,500.00 like my main set! PROS: The Stands are of a thinner tubing than the $1,500 dollar variety, yes, and of a pot metal construction (not aircraft grade aluminum) with lower quality plastic clamps and adjusters (not machined and polished aluminum) HOWEVER... they are most certainly sturdy for light stands and absolutely useable for what I can see as a very long life (if you're not a tool!) Also, the light fixtures themselves are very sturdy AND accommodate the included bulbs very well. As this is a continuous light system and not strobes, I have used them for studio lighting along with 2 softboxes. The light level is strong and clean, with no flickers or other anomalies. The light levels are steady and at the advertised rated output continuously. The accompanying nylon bag is branded with Cowboy Studio's logo as with all of their products. The bag is really descent and holds the gear for transport properly and completely as it should. CONS: None, for 60 dollars there is not a one. Even for $120.00 I would be very satisfied. All in all, for 60 bucks, these are awesome and very much worth the money and will serve you well... unless you're a tool.
