An Alien Bees Strobe. Not available on Amazon I think. Google Alien Bees or Paul C. Buff.

I have no light on mine. You may be able to buy one from Hunter that attaches to the bottom. Contact them: http://www.hunterfan.com/Support/Contact-Us/

Hi Sarah, this softbox does not come with any type of light. It is strictly the light modifier. You will need to provide that separately. In answer to your question you could use either continuous lighting or a flash head.

By purchasing a socket. I got mine off of Amazon with 4 sockets and brackets for mounting something like a softbox around it for $19.

This comes with a cord for the light and plug. You have to assemble this, and you will need a ceiling hook. This has a great look and I recommend this.

Place rods into plastic housing, place the ends with silver tips into pockets on softbox, work around from there

Not easily,1) drill holes in backplate to match electric box2) drill hole in backplate to feed cord through into electric box3) cut cord to proper length, connect wiring correctly including ground.4) mount backplate then mount light.

The way this light it's installed you need to have a box where you could put the transformer inside

Your lamp probably needs to be hardwired into a recessed box. If you want to put a plug on it, it's not difficult. If you don't feel comfortable with that, ask someone qualified to help you. It's really not difficult but something you need to make sure is correct.

I haven't tried attaching a softbox to it actually, but that is a good idea! It depends if the softbox will wrap around it. I assume you will have to possibly add velcro strips or tape to keep it on there temporarily. I actually like your idea of the softbox because even at it's lowest setting, it is very bright!

yes, the light comes with it, you just need to add batteries to it(not included) for it to work.

So from my experience, as well as from some of the reviews, this light is good only if you get the correct parts which it seems like doesn't always happen. I'm not sure why the company only gives you pictures on how to set up a softbox....which really isn't rocket science. It should have pictures on how to mount the light in the event that a part was not manufactured properly (as is the case with me so they're sending me a replacement piece). Call the company. They'll help you out.

There is the kit to install it - an plastic electrical box and cable to run between the box and the light; this is used if you are hard wiring it, for instance if you have a light already installed that you are replacing. There is also a regular plug which you can use if you are just going to plug the light into a wall outlet. The last thing is a short connector cable, used if you have two or more lights; you can power the extra lights simply by plugging into the first unit.

This light fixture mounts with a plate to a 4" octagonal (typical) box. To add a plug, you would surface mount the octagonal box, assemble the fixture to the box, and take the cord out of the box through a strain relief and add a plug on the end. You can purchase an octagonal box with integral strain reliefs. If you don't want to mount it, then you would simply add the plug.
