Huge difference
This set is amazing! I never thought that lighting would make SUCH a difference. I didn't end up using it for my intended project but will definitely keep it around the office for when we take pictures! The pictures below show one pic without the lighting ins two with for comparison (sorry, these are trial pics so they aren't the greatest)

This lighting kit saved my job.
Okay.
I’m a Poshmark seller and the lighting in my “studio” is TERRIBLE. I’ll post 200+ items in one day and I would have to sit there after taking each photo and edit the lighting before posting so I decided it was time to take the plunge and get a lighting kit.
I had no idea where to start but this was really low priced and I didn’t want to spend a lot for something I wasn’t 100% sure how to use, so I picked this one. I read the reviews and they were about 50/50 as to whether or not the kit is good but I figured I’d try it out.
Box came a day after I ordered it, perfect condition. My wife helps me put things together because I tend to break stuff and I’m horrible with directions, it took her a little less than 10 minutes to put this kit together.
The ONLY thing I didn’t like is that there is no direction on which umbrellas go on what stands. No setup ideas as far as the umbrellas go, but I figure anyone can google that real quick so it’s definitely no dealbreaker.
I’m attaching a photo of a pair of jean shorts I’m selling. The picture on the left is taken with two lights on in my studio, without the lighting kit. The right photo is taking with the lights off in my studio, and only the lighting kit on.
I don’t have to edit ANYTHING anymore. This thing has saved me HOURS of editing and frustration and literally made my job a million times easier. I wish I was some sort of social media influenced so I could brag about how good this is to everyone, but amazon reviews will have to do!
Buy it, you won’t regret it! My pictures say it all!

Works great!
I almost did not purchase because of other reviews. This does work great. Its exactly what i needed. Comes with 4 umbrellas. 2 for soft light 2 for hard light. Comes with 3 stands. and 3 bulbs. one of the reviews said it would only be good for a 3' person... they must have only opened one part and gave up. there are three tall stands and 1 short stand. the umbrellas fit on any of the three. We set up with 2 tall ones with the white diffuser. and the short one for a harsh light with the silver ones. They worked great. The tall ones adjus from 3' tall to ... well i don't know they hit my 8' ceiling and were not expanded all the way.. so more then you need.

Great system- not so bright packaging department
The lighting setup is pretty good. The packaging however- is frustrating. You've probably seen those stickers that warn you not to use razor blades to open the box? Well, they have something like this on their box. I open boxes for a living (literally) owning a store. When you get to opening 20+ boxes you just go to town. So it is frustrating when a company is too lazy or ignorant, to add a piece of cardboard that cost $0.02 to protect the product. I'm guessing that 98% of people use their keys or a kitchen knife to open boxes. I can imagine this company gets a lot of calls about the bags that now have holes, because they think that people are going to read the warning. Yes, we should read the warning. But anyone in marketing should also know that people get excited when their stuff comes in the mail and they just tear into it. Use common sense and anticipate that people are going to use a knife or razor to open the box. You'll save on ink by not having to print a warning on your box, and you'll get less complaints.

Great quality for the money!
Haven't really had a problem with this. I love the fact that it has both white umbrella's and black ones. I use the white ones for my girls, and the black ones for the guys. To have this option is very nice.
The power of the lights are not that of what you can get out of a speedlite - but, even if i were to move to a speedlite instead of these lights, i can still use the stands for other things - and even maybe introduce some additional light into the background to help set the subject apart from the scene. The lights do need to be placed close to the subject - maybe 1 - 1 1/2 feet away from their face. White umbrella's, i point at the subject (light shining thru the umbrella) and this seems to give off a very nice and soft light (tis why i save it for the girls)
Not all that great for large shoots - but i've used it before for a family of 3 & a family of 4. Haven't done anything bigger yet due to the closeness of the lights to the subjects.
Cord length is a problem if you don't have plugs all around your house. I do, so it's not a problem for me. I also keep a 3 plug outlet from one outlet plug with me so i can plug all three lights in off of one plug if there is only one that's close by... cord length starts to matter then.
Carrying case is a little on the cheap side - but i didn't get this for a carrying case... i've setup this light setup and put it away a total of 15 times now - and the points of ware are... the zippers bend really easy - so be gentle pulling on them, as the zipper tab/puller likes to form into a curve into the direction you pull it. The case material is of nylon-ish material - and not easily puncturable - so that's nice. Not heavy grade. I don't plan on using this for any heavy duty equipment though, so this is ok.
Would i get this over a speedlite? I only do pictures vs. video - so probably would go with a speedlite (Yongnuo YN660). Setup time takes roughly 6 minutes for me from case to finished process. Speedlite is nearly instant. Subjects get a little warm sitting in front of 3 lights that are pointed at or near them.
Both a speedlite and/or this umbrella setup gives me a professional look where i get more respect as a photographer - and more willing participants. Clients don't see "Cheap" when looking at the setup. They don't see "Pricey" either - but it's a nice look - both in professionalism and the photo's it turns out.

The best quality for your $ & SUPERB customer service.
I bought this lighting setup as an introduction into the lightning business for my company. To my delight the quality of these items are on-par with other companies that cost MUCH more.
The quality of the items are top-notch, the packaging was great & taken care of, and the customer service is amazing.
I had one slight snag on an item and Emart sent out replacement items no questions asked. Superb customer service, the best I've ever encountered in Amazon Land.
If you need a lighting setup without breaking the bank and want the comfort of knowing you'll have great customer service if you have any problems -- Emart is the company to go to.
I can't rant and rave enough about their care and support of their customers. They truly care about their customers happiness and that matters the most in this business.
I will continue to refer all family and friend's to Emmet because they areally the best in the business -- simply put.
Boy am I one happy customer!
Thank you Emmet for being so great.
Do not hesitate to buy from them, you will get quality products and AMAZING customer service.
I love you Emart, thanks again.

Good kit
This a great photography kit for novices like me. I needed to take clear, accurate, and professional looking photos of my chameleons for my reptile breeding business. This kit helped me do so. It only takes a few minutes to set up and put away. The components are durable, as the lamp stands are made out of metal and the plastic lamp fixtures aren't flimsy. The light diffusers and reflectors work well. My only complaint is that the bulbs it came with are a bit dim. I will be replacing them with 100 watt equivalent LEDs.

Great starting kit, great customer service
I was absolutely thrilled when I received this ...it was an extremely easy set up. I felt that the material was durable and decent quality, especially for the price! The only thing I did not like is that the lamp holders the piece that you screw end to tighten the umbrella once its holding in the lamp holder ...but it is made out of plastic and is easy to strip and wear over time, and one of my lamp holders was stripped on the screw for the umbrella and wouldnt hold it in place... but I reached out to customer service and they right away to care of the problem and sent me to new 2 lamp holders free of charge to replace my 1 bad lamp holder within a matter of a few days... I am a serious hobbyist and not a professional by any means but for a starting set this was a great addition to my new cannon camera and I was able to manipulate the lighting....i set up a little photo shoot for xmas and was able to take some really nice family photos
...I am content with the brightness of the bulbs and I love how it comes with a carrying case to put it all in for easy transportation .....
over all my experience was very positive and I would totally recommend this to anybody starting out wanting to take their photography to the next level, especially with such great customer service from the seller
I attached one of the photos from my family xmas shoot to show how the lighting kit really made a huge difference to the photo

Great starting kit, decent storage container
So this kit was the same price as Neewer's kit, plus it contained 2 silver reflectors instead of simply the white diffusers.
The kit was easy to set up and we were amazed at how much equipment we could buy for 45 dollars. The stands lock really well and the bulbs are bright.
Pros:
The two tall stands are really tall and you can get them above target to down-angle light if you want. The stands lock really well and the bulbs are bright and consistent with one another.
Cons:
The lights are really hard to plug in, to the point where I thought I was going to break the plugs. They worked fine once I did plug them in however, and everything seems fine now. It was just concerning and required some real force. It could have been related to the two new power strips we bought for these lights, however.
The Storage bag relies heavily on the cardboard packing material to keep everything safe. Don't throw away the packaging materials once you unpack your equipment, as that is what makes up your safety padding. We returned all of our materials to their plastic wrap / styrofoam padding and back into their cardboard boxes before putting them in the travel bag.
we might sew on a few loops to mind the umbrellas a bit better. From the factory they are loose in the gear bag.
Overall for 45 dollars, a set that works and is safe, even if that means re-using the shipping materials...who cares? the gear is secure and it works great. 5 Stars.

The lights are bright and both sets of umbrellas are awesome. The carrying case makes it easy for me ...
Being an amateur photographer, this suits me well. The lights are bright and both sets of umbrellas are awesome. The carrying case makes it easy for me to tote my equipment from job to job and not have to worry about things being banged up. Everything has it own box except for the umbrellas but they have their own plastic sleeve. It does the job well. Well worth the money.

Question & Answer
Question :
Does the setup come with the light bulbs or are they purchased separate?
Answer :
Three 45 watt fluorescent light bulbs are included. I contacted the seller asking if more powerful bulbs can be used and they said up to 100 watt bulbs can be used
Question :
Can LED bulbs be used instead ?
Answer :
Yes. Any bulb with a regular household screw in base will fit. However, you need to get bulbs with a brightness equivalent of at least 200 - 350 Watts incandescent, which would probably run about 45 - 90 watts in a CFL, or about 20 - 35 watts in an LED. Generally speaking, the brighter the bulb, the better. You also need to get bulbs that have a daylight temperature (around 5000K to 6000K). You can mix watts/brightness and even the type of bulb, but having them all the same color temperature is important.
Question :
what is the maximum wattage the bulb holder can handle
Answer :
The bulb holder can handle maximum 105 wattage.
Question :
does this come with USA plugs, someone said it came with the two prong asian plug, and that bulbs arrive dysfunctional, I need this to work on arrival
Answer :
I set it up and everything worked perfectly. Tge light bulbs went in fine and the plug worked fine. USA certified in my opinion.
Question :
I'm going to start self taping my own auditions for film and TV, will this light kit be enough for a good start to benefit from?
Answer :
Depending on how large your interviewing area will be, YES. My husband and I just used it for the exact same purpose last weekend as we filmed a Gospel group's stage performance. The lighting in the area was poor and this kit gave us just the illumination that we needed.
Question :
Is there any documentation on the correct set up for this kit? I received it but there is no directions included.
Answer :
If you search for "Three point lighting" you will get the correct set up for almost anything, portraits for sure. The three components are a key light (the main one from above your subject), backlight (stops your subject from looking 'flat'), and fill light (removes too much shadow from the key light).
Question :
My light kit was just delivered but the lights did now work? should i submit a return with amazon? or allow you send a properly functioning light?
Answer :
I would do an Amazon return.
Question :
Hola, necesito saber si puedo enchufarlo en Uruguay, son 220 V. Garcias
Answer :
Lamentablemente No, es para 110V,
Question :
Where to get replacement bulbs
Answer :
The bulbs are pretty standard i got mine from home depo
Question :
Is it american plug???
Answer :
Yes, standard US electrical 3-prong plug.
