Can I use the Softbox with 2 bulbs in & 2 sockets empty, to make less-bright lighting?

Like Jonathan W. Hickman said, These come with switches for two lights at a time, so if you just want to use two lights instead of all 4, you can simply just switch off a pair and use the other two.

The one I bought had switches for two lights at a time. I don't know of you can run it with two empty, but on one shoot, I knocked it over and two bulbs broke. The others kept running, but I quickly unplugged it and took it outside, so, I don't know how long it would have run like that.

I haven't tried that. The lamp I used it on had one 25w small base incandescent bulb. Good question. I'll have to look into it.

The light can be dimmed only by turning off one of the switches. There are two switches on each soft box. You can't control the output internally other than the type of light bulbs that you use. Check out some videos on YouTube, you might find other ones that you like.

No. You don't even need to have all the bulbs in. Bulbs can be missing our not working and the rest of the bulbs will light.

There are sockets for 3, but the recommended Ikea bulb pack only has two. Like others said, it's better to buy regular candelabra lights

I have regular old soft white light bulbs in there. I like the way it looks. we do have it on a dimmer so we can have it bright or "moody"

I believe the answer is yes. And if for some reason you feel the light is inadequate, just use two.

It will work with just 2 bulbs. In fact, there are 2 power switches on the light. Each switch controls 2 bulbs.

This is a soft box, it uses no bulb. There is nothing electrical about this item. You must own a monolight before you can use this.

I wouldn't put a soft box on it myself, but if I did it would have to be a small one.. you get what you pay for. Not alot of power in this but its perfect for ONLY a fill light. I would not put a softbox on or even attempt to use for a main light. has slow charging time also

Each light comes with 4 bulbs so the amount of light can be adjusted. There are two settings on the light. One for four bulbs and one for just two. However you could unscrew the bulbs to decrease the light if you needed to. There is no adapter. The lights are great as long as you don't care to use the soft box. The soft box is almost impossible to attach.

You can use regular bulbs, the sockets are the same size as the regular bulbs.

I don't know if it is possible to purchase with different sockets. However the candelabra lights that come with it are very bright. There were reviews stating the opposite but perhaps the manufacturer changed to brighter lights. I have to turn mine down to a lower setting using my remote as the light is so bright. I've had my fan for two years with no problems and the original bulbs sent with it.

If you're asking about the fit, yes. These soft boxes use standard bulb sockets. I'm currently using omni-directional LED bulbs in mine just for lower power consumption. The only concern that I could envision with a higher wattage bulb is the additional heat, though by design, the materials used for soft box reflectors are fire retardant.

four bulbs your choice but the sockets point to the side so spot light don't work very well.

We have a 3-way bulb in there. We tend to use the second setting the most but will be more than adequate

Yes... Whether you are using 1,2,3 or 4 bulbs... You can cut the wires short, cap off with wire nuts... the other red or blue wires you don't use . For two bulbs you only need to use one yellow wire... Cut and cap the other yellow wire
