Torjim Softbox Photography Lighting Kit, 20'' x 20'' Professional Softbox Lighting Kit with 85W 3000-7500K LED Bulbs, Studio Lights for Photography/Video Recording/Live Streaming/Portraits Shooting

After reading some of the Reviews I was hoping for the best, and although there were some that were slightly Negative, all of my thoughts on this are now Positive. I was actually pretty happy with just the one light after I set it up, but when I set up the other, I was more than happy! Here's what I found when I got them both going... REMOTE: You CAN use ONE remote for both and they will STILL work independently of each other. So, one remote can make the opposite, make one gradually change from Low Brightness to High Brightness, and using that same remote you can then aim at the other and change that one from High Brightness to Low Brightness, if you wanted. So, the Brightness of each is controlled easily however you want to use them, On, off, color-shift, or brightness. The REMOTE is the cheapest made part in this set-up, it is VERY lightweight and it's very cheaply made, and very thin. I am only going to be using one at a time anyway, so if one breaks, I can use the other. Not just that, but they come with new bulbs, see more below. I had read that this was not the case, but, I tested it more than a few times, it does work. I do not know why some people said that it didn't. This is a BIGGY for me, I do product style photography and I placed an object on 'center stage' and watched as the shadows grew and shrank as I played with the remote's Brightness. Before I got this I had to use paper towels for a soft filter, I would also use the supplied light filters, but using them alone is usually not enough to get the amount of light one might need. (I am not referring to color filters, that is different) This is set-up as a professional lighting system, it just works! SET-UP: It all went together REALLY easy, and FAST too! These are not the best made light stands etc., that there is out there, but they are made well, and there's not much to screw up on these, and if you did break something, I am pretty sure it can be fixed easily, or, there may be parts out there that would fit, these appear to me to be very standard/generic stands, and of course, the light socket is standard stuff. MATERIAL: The soft box itself is made well enough, if you take care of it, there's no reason that you would need to replace it, there is no stretching of it when erecting the set-up, so no stress, no problems. The same goes for what they call the white "nylon cover", it creates a very soft shadow when used, and although you are 'supposed to' remove it when placing back into the bag, you don't necessarily have to, and if you did every time, I can't see where that will ever wear out either. It's made well enough and it should serve you for many years to come. STAND: The stand itself is sturdy enough, I don't foresee any problems at all, moving it up and down doesn't make it wear really, so this also should last for many, many sessions. Tightening and loosening the knobs are the only place that I can see that could create a problem when used over and over, it is the only place that might wear throughout time. Again though, these should be standard replacement parts from reputable online or brick and mortar stores. These are not the best, but for what you pay, they are worth every bit of it. If one broke during a shoot, just use gaffers tape until you get a new part. LIGHT: Now, for the light itself, that is where my confidence dwindles, not yet, I just received it, but that will more than likely be where your first problem will arise. I have zero knowledge of this type of bulb, although it accepts the standard sizes bulbs used in your home, the dimming and color-shift parts of the bulb is what sets it apart from the rest. These are not super expensive, but they aren't that cheap either. They are sold by themselves, or in pairs on Amazon and elsewhere, so finding them is not hard, or, that expensive. I believe that when you buy a new bulb (from what I saw on Amazon) you will also get a new remote, so that would mean that to get all of the bulb's features, you will need to buy one either exactly the same, or a similar one that would have its own remote, by a different brand. You could use ANY light bulb in this if you had to, you can use the on-off (only) switch on the electrical cord between the lamp and the wall plug. That would just be for an emergency type scenario. Buy a back-up set of lights, that would be my suggestion. One more thing on the lamp itself, they are 'soft lamps', not harsh, which is good most of the time. If you do end up needing a harsher light, it will not be what you want. As it happens, only yesterday on my first try I found that I needed a more harsh shadow, so I ended up using my old smaller LED lights. I'm sure that somewhere there are some lamps that are harsh, but these are not them. DOUBTS: I did have doubts, but as of now, I am extremely impressed with this set-up, and if it continues to work like it is now I am a really happy customer, of course, time is the big factor here, time will tell. Aside from that, buy this, and if it works like mine, you will not be sorry.

This Torjim softbox lighting kit has completely transformed the quality of my photography and video content. The 20" x 20" softboxes provide beautifully soft, even lighting that eliminates harsh shadows on portraits. I love that the 85W LED bulbs are adjustable from 3000-7500K, so I can match any lighting condition or create the perfect mood for my shoots. The kit was incredibly easy to assemble and feels sturdy enough for regular use in my home studio. Whether you're doing photography, live streaming, or video recording, this is an excellent value for professional-quality results!

I volunteer to take photoshoot for my colleagues at work biannually and last time we tried using the natural lights and it was not it. This time around, after watching some tutorials, I am confident that investing in a soft box set is the way to go and this did not disappoint. It is portable, the stands are sturdy and tall, the light is bright and have different color tones. Since it is not a flash, it is on all the time so a thick, adequate cooling solution is required, so I'm glad that the bulbs come with a very impressive heatsink that is assuring that they will last for a long time. The only thing about this is the light cable is a bit short so be mindful and bring extender. The remote controls are great to change the color and brightness on the fly but they don't come with batteries out of the box so you gotta remember to buy them in advance also. Given the price, and the functionality that it delivers, I think it is well worth the price!

For the price, this softbox light set is a great deal. I do wish there was more control over the brightness, but overall, it's a solid product. The carry bag is a nice touch, and the setup was fairly straightforward, though a bit tedious. My main concern is with the stands - they feel a little wobbly. I can't seem to get them tight enough to hold their shape, so they tend to tip forward slightly since they're a bit top-heavy. While I think with some adjustment I could stabilize them better, the lights still do the job perfectly, providing ample lighting for filming and photography.

This is a very good photography lighting kit. Generally the quality of whole set is good. The remote controls are very useful. We can set it up easily and the stands are very stable. The softboxes provide soft, even lighting that significantly improves photo and video quality without harsh shadows. I can make photography, video recording, live streaming, and portrait shoots perfectly.

This dual photography light combo is budget-friendly and comes with many features: adjustable brightness and color temperature, a soft diffuser cloth, and a remote control. It is more than sufficient for daily shooting. In particular, the dual-light setup can greatly reduce shadows on the subject and enhance the three-dimensional effect.

Just got these unplugged them in and followed the instructions. The box lights were great. They have four different settings. Bright white Dim white Soft Blue The lamps work fine and you can switch them off either from a switch on your extension cord on the switches that come on their Cordes. However: THE REMOTES DON’T WORK AT ALL. THIS IS THE 20 INCH OCTAGONAL LIGHT AND BOTH REMOTES ARE DEAD UPON ARRIVAL. I INSERTED THE BATTERIES CORRECTLY AND THEY TESTED THE BATTERIES AND I DON’T EVEN GET A LIGHT AT THE TOP OF THE REMOTE ON EITHER REMOTE.
