I purchased this more for the stand, and softbox. You can always changed the bulb to get brighter. Not sure what the limit would be when using fluorescent lights.

I raise it up to the ceiling in a standard 8 foot room and it works well, but you definitely don't want to hover it much closer or it will blow out the hair. However, keep some different wattage bulbs on hand and it will work at various ranges.

It depends on the wattage of the other lights. Too much light out of balance will make a poor picture and difficult to make the proper settings.

The higher the watts the brighter the light. For the nail dryers the higher the watt the quicker it will dry. I own the thermal spa LED and love it. It works great!

depends on use but it last me an evening of filming with the light kept on. For its price and features I am happy with it.

I don't know why not. You won't have a hair light or background light, but you'll have a main and a fill. I have two pair, so I could use my second pair to light a distant background. If your clothes rack & makeup case are close enough, the fall-off of your main and fill should light the background fine. For a hair light, I got a ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel - ePhoto 600 LED Professional Studio Video Light Panel Photography Lighting Sony V Mount by ePhotoinc CN600SD which I put on a large boom I already own.

Yes, it's a specific kind of lighting, but I use it for short videos almost every day and it creates soft natural looking light. They are kinda flimsy, not very weighted or strong, but work for my purposes, because they basically stay put in a studio. Good luck...

David, I have two Flip UltraHD 120 Black Video Cameras. The best quality comes with good lighting. Indoor lighting is not always ideal unless you have a lot of light. From my experience, the absolute best HD Quality Videos come from Outdoor lighting on sunny days. Even then, I've managed to pull of some spectacular night shots, and dark lighting shots (bars, restaurants, parking lots, outdoor). Zooming in will degrade the video quality, somewhat. Try to get close to your objects and avoid zooming if possible.

Should run on anything 300+ watts. If you are only playing movies at 1080p, your integrated graphics should be able to handle it.

quick one that comes to mind is if you have a dark room, plasma should be better. But i personally like LED, aside from being a new technology, on a side by side comparison, the picture looks a lot awesome in LED than in plasma...

35w is low.

I'd say its much closer to 60W. Plenty of light for typical indoor use, but not super-bright.

I think so. The bulbs don't get very hot. 110 is plenty. I'm thinking anymore than that it will look over exposed... And this also depends on the type of photography/video productions you're going to do. I was satisfied with them but only a little close up. I think you would have to find a bigger soft box. The bigger the soft box the better quality the light. These really need to be used close unless you adjust your camera settings and even then, some come out grainy looking. This really is a good deal for the price, but the boom stand is really sensitive and the soft boxes tip over easy. I broke one of the bulbs in mine. I think so.

Alien Bees B400, B800 or B1600. The higher the number, the more powerful the light. I use 800s in my small home studio but would have been fine with the 400s. However, the 800s will transfer nicely to a bigger studio in the future :)They are some of the best strobes and so soo sooo easy to use!

I looked everywhere and I do not see anything that shows the wattage. I do know that if you wanted to use this as your main mirror you will need to buy the wall adapter that you can use with it. Light is much brighter with the wall adapter. With batteries as the batteries wear out the light gets dimmer. I use it for travel and have the wall adapter. I really like it and have not had problems with it.

Alien bees are brighter, i am selling mine because my yongnuo 560 III are just as bright and i am not tethered to a cord for power.

I would say this one work best in a darker room, it's not bad in a lighted room but to get a more crisp picture the best lighting would be a low amount
