It's a relief to have found a solution to my problem with dark, shadowy photos. The Torjim Softbox Photography Lighting Kit, 16" x 16" is perfect, as I only have one LED ring light and have had many problems with my photos due to a lack of light or shadows. This softbox kit, despite its size, is surprisingly portable and an ideal addition to my small studio. Its compact design allows me to set it up anywhere, solving my problem with photos that are too dark or too light, and saving me time on editing. It is very easy to assemble and use, and it is built with quality materials. The tripod is sturdy and offers three extension modes: 47, 59, and 71 inches. Equipped with an 85W energy-efficient bulb, with an operating temperature range of 3000-7500K. The inclusion of a remote control adds convenience, making it easy to operate and switch the light to the required mode. In short, the Torjim Softbox Photography Lighting Kit, 16" x 16" exceeded my expectations. I am delighted with the purchase, especially since I found it on sale for 20% off: $39.99. It's an excellent value for the quality and features it offers. I highly recommend it and give it a solid 5/5. Note: I kept the box the bulb came in for when I need to pack the device in my bag; I put the bulb in there to keep it safe.

I absolutely love this light! It makes such a difference when taking pictures or filming content, especially when the lighting in the room isn’t the best. It’s bright, easy to set up and gives really nice, even lighting without making everything look harsh. I gotten so much use out of it already and I’m genuinely happy I bought it. If you take pictures, make content or just want better lighting at home, I definitely recommend it!

The quality of the kit is impressive it feels professional and reliable right out of the box.

Everything fits together easily, making setup and storage straightforward. Overall, this kit is an excellent investment for anyone looking to improve their photography or video lighting.

I bought a pair of these lights to film videos interviews. For a standard head/chest shot they provide decent key/fill lighting but to do this they need to be relatively close. You won't be able to do any full body shots as these would need to be too close and would be in frame. These are definitely light duty lights and stands and would not stand up to significant production work. The lights require the included led remote so don't lose it as there is no way to change color temperature or intensity on the light itself, which is incredibly annoying. All in all these are decent lights which were adequate for my use case, but I don't expect to be able to reuse then on larger projects.

only used once since purchase BUT i was very impressed. bought to light self tape auditions. easy to transport, love the bag it comes with. i’d say it’s pretty sturdy but i’m veryyyy gentle with it because i’m terrified of it breaking. will update later about longevity!

I love this softbox light. I got it for my content setup, and I’m happy to have it for filming and taking photos at home. The 16-by-16-inch size gives me a dedicated light without needing a large studio setup.

Okay, so I'm not great at math, but I figure that when you say, "85w" that you actually mean 85 watts... done, right? Nope! There should be a giant asterisk at the end of that. Two, actually. Here's the reason: Cons: 1) 85 watts is accurate on 240v, which is, I'm sure, how this bulb was rated. In that respect, it appears it would actually make that. But, this is America. In America, where we have the plugs this attaches to, we get 120v. What does that mean? Again, bad at math, but I googled it. Turns out that half of 85 is 42.5. That's what I was getting, almost, out of my bulb. And here's the kicker. What appears to be the same bulb is advertised as 40w from other Amazon brands and sellers. So, it's a known thing. But wait, there's more! 2) You only get the "full" 42.5 watts when it's set on 5,000K (the middle of the color temp range). I presume there are two sets of LED's in this with one being 3,000 Kelvin and the other being 7,000 Kelvin. Only by running both at full power do you get 5,000K and full brightness. What does that mean? First, this is a 21-Watt bulb in America unless you're on 5,000 K. That limits you on full brightness to one color temp. I'll discuss the second reason below. Pros: 1) Well, because you're only drawing HALF of the rated power in America, the bulb will last much longer. The individual LED's won't heat up and degrade as fast. So, it'll be half as bright but maybe last 4 times as long? 2) Setup was a breeze and the umbrella actually deployed like an umbrella and seems sturdy enough. While the 'tripod' was flimsy, they are all buying them from the same supplier, so you get what everybody else gets. I, for one, have a regular 1/4-20 attachment for QD's on a proper tripod that doesn't feel like it's falling over all the time. Final verdict? Hey, it's better than the one I had. Smaller for my studio and easier to transport. Seems like it should last as long as the 8-years that my last studio light did. Kinda wish they wouldn't have lied in their ad.

I love that it comes with a duffel for all the parts. Pretty easy to set up. Light switch is in an inconvenient place tho. The bulb does not have a cover. Would be good if there was a pocket for the remote.
