Compact flouresecent bulbs will not fitFebruary 1, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
Compact flouresecent bulbs will not fit this fixture unless you order special CF's with extended bases. Other than that, it can't be beat for the price and quality. I got the unmentioned carry bag also. Adorama Rocks!
Nice piece of equipment!January 4, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I bought this to go along with my other Smith Victor equipment. The other I refer too is two 250 watt umbrella floodlights w/stands. I see where one can buy this in a set of all three below with "others purchased with this area". I bought separately, not knowing I would find a need for this accent lamp! Great for video taping your subject with more of an artistic touch, or still camera work as well. The difuser {sold separately} is a big plus, because a 250 watt bulb in a 5" reflector is pretty strong! One could use incandescent bulbs as well, 40 w. 60 w. 75, 100 ? but it will be a warm lite and maybe good to spot the wall behind your subject or over-head hair light. Also, They don't state it, but mine came with a nice vinyl tripod bag large enough to fit everything in! All in all. Very pleased with this and it makes a nice piece of furniture when to lazy to put away or will use again in a few days!
