I just purchased the 16 x 16 Softbox, so what type of continuous lighting kit should I buy then to fit in the softbox?

I have the 24x36 version and it only fits on studio strobes, not continuous lights. The Speedring in the kit fits on to the head of the strobe and screws down. I'm not sure what other brands of strobes this will fit on, but it works well with the cowboy studio 400w strobe.

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!

Hi, I am a photographer. I would say if you were going for the traditional store bought soft box, it is too thin and shear. You would need to double layer it, or possibly triple layer. Probably not a fit for you. Also, it is not as stiff as the standard one photographer use. More flawy and shear. You would probably see the bulbs through the material. If your bulbs are not that bright, then MAYBE it would work, because it would allow the light to shine through. Let me know if you have more questions.

I'd get the 16in light. The feet that rest on the rim extend to the edge of the fixture and you'll want even coverage of the entire tank.

For our application at the church that i pastor we chose to go with the myDMX software package and adapter which we got at Amazon as well. Reason being it appeared to be far more expandable than a traditional lighting board. It was very simple to get them up and running with a couple of basic scenes. I just chose a light profile (I used a generic one. They didn't have these in the list but I emailed support and they are creating a profile) dragged it over to the lighting scene setup which btw, told me each light address so i could set the corresponding light and then I just moved each slider to the color that i wanted. The generic profile only gave me 3 channels but I really didn't need strobing or anything fancy yet til i get the profile from support. Are you using software or a physical light board? I hope this helps. If I can help more please let me know.

Dump the crappy CFL's and use proper photo-floods. I use 500w photo floods and make sure the umbrellas are not super close. This is a really good-value-for-money setup. It won't last a million years but if you are doing casual shooting, occasionally, it is just fine.

Every lighting kit that I have bought never did come with assembly instructions. If you Google or look on Youtube you can find video instructions on how to put together and put on Softboxes, Barndoors, or Snoots. Of course there are MANY different types of Softboxes and not all softboxes assemble the same.

I really don't know as I do not use a light kit with it. I prefer just using other lighting throughout the room.

Hello Jenna, this is just the soft box. You will need to buy the lighting kit separately. Actually, when you buy the complete lighting kit, the soft box is included. Try to look for the Neewer Lighting Kit right here on Amazon.

Everything you need including bulbs iirc. They burn out easily so get extras.

It should work fine but I would recommend a smaller diameter Softlighter, perhaps a 36-48 inch if they make those sizes. I love the 60 inch but is a bit cumbersome in tight spaces.

Definitely! This is a good strong and heavy softbox. I wouldn't use anything but a heavy duty lightstand with any monolight I own.

i dont own that softbox, but i have a flashpoint of a similar size, and works just fine!!

The lighting kit is not included. I did see it on Amazon. No idea about the different kits.

I don't think you would be happy with this light kit as the light are the small "flame" tip lights. I wanted a regular light kit that uses regular type of light bulbs. The light from the "flame" tip bulbs are more for 'mood' than light.

It is a softbox. It is compatible with everything and also nothing. It just diffuses the light from your off camera flash.

Since this soft box is made for speedlights and studio flash, I wouldn't recommend using a high wattage tungsten. Softboxes made for flash probably aren't made from the heat resistant fabric used in softboxes made specifically for tungsten lights...
