Do the lights sit deep enough in the reflector that it would be possible to cover them with a diffuser? I prefer not to shoot with a tent.

Yes they do; there should be about an inch gap, but I certainly would not recommend something flammable like a paper towel. They do not produce a tremenous amout of heat...or light either. I find the stock bulbs to be dimmer than I would like, but I have main lights to compensate. They have been great so far.

It's not a reflector umbrella. It's more of a diffuser. It will light up a small room, not just one small area. This has more lighting than a softbox. I only use one of them most of the time.

Ya they have cords sewed inside u can tighten I ran the fan for my light off one and had ducting running through diff hole for exhaust on lights. U will not be able to hang a carbon filter and a reflector tho inside the tent will need supports outside bc too much weight.

Inner diffuser is NOT removable. Not sure how many stops of light it decreases.

Hi Lee,As long as the luminary is not fully enclosed(has some way to vent out heat,) and is slightly larger than the dimensions listed on the product page, it should work fine. These are designed to fit recessed lights, so there should not be an issue. Also, it is a technically a flood, so it disperses close to 180 degrees.Thanks,G7 Power

This light is a highly concentrated spot. However, I purchased a diffuser panel for a 4 light florescent fixture and cut a square the size of the glass on the front of this light. I replaced the glass (not enough room with the glass) with the section of diffuser (with the rough side out) and it spread the beam out to make it more useful. The spot is good, if you want all the distance advertised, but if you need to cover a larger area the diffuser works great.

Yes they do. If you plan on running HIDs in them, i would suggest some kind of a shield to direct the output better. When I put in mine there was a lot of scatter, I assume because there is a lot more output than halogen.

Hey Mark! I ordered this for event photos I did last year and LOVED IT! It was the only light I needed for the setup, it is pretty deep, I would say 2+ feet at the deepest, I don't have mine set up at the time to measure :( but it's one of the best things I ever bought to go with my strobe!

You can find directions through the following link: http://dtxinternational.com/images/manuals/Square_Perfect/ShutterStarzLightingKitSKU1051.pdf It sounds as if the items you are photographing may be too large for the tent. Make sure you are using the included backdrops to eliminat creases on the back.

The outside dimensions of the light case are 7.5 by 13.75 inches, the diode pattern is 5.75 by 11.5 inches. With the barn doors, it may be difficult to attach the gels over the diodes unless you use scotch tape for a temporary attachment. There is very little heat from the diodes, even on full power, so that may work. I have never used the lights over 25% power when shooting videos, so again, very little heat.

I don't have a ruler on me to measure, but 10" bulbs would stick out. I'm gonna guess the reflectors are 7-8" deep.

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

Yes I would think. I have a 30' x 12-15' irregular shaped pool with white plaster and it covers well. Make sure the orientation when installed is right. If the location of the light is on the longer side then set it to wider beam and on the shorter wall use the longer beam. Its done by rotating the reflector when installed.

Not sure I know--perhaps the base gets too warm in such an enclosed space. Suggest you search the web or go to a store and talk to a knowledgeable salesperson in the lighting department.

This a very nice light kit. My advice is if you are going to use at that distance, you should use it without a diffused pad. You won't regret to buy this light.

I doubt it. The photocell is right in the middle so maybe with a big enough piece of electrical tape but then you would be covering some of the emitters. For the price it may be worth a try.

Yes...it has an open reflector area but bulbs are enclosed in a tube for cooling purposes when running a fan thru it. Not ideal w out a fan tho.
