Do the soft boxes have elastic at the base that wraps around the lighting fixture? Or are they held together with velcro?

It's elastic and pretty fitting also; no sign of loosening any time soon. :)

The bases are elastic and it helps to slip them in control side first from the inside. The boxes are not the sturdiest but if you reinforce the rod connectors / sleeves with just a little heavy duty tape they seem to hold up just fine. Considering the other answers, I will say I've seen velcro and elastic so it may depend on the batch. Mine were elastic.

It has a limited amount of elastic which I've found to be difficult at times. If you forget one step, you have to disassemble to get to the step you need to adjust. That's not to say they aren't good performing lights -- this is a great "startup" set. I've personally made these a backup set, and since moved to LEDs.

I'm not understanding the question. These lights are held on with bolts and nuts

They are rigid, no elastic in them. They have stayed where I adjusted them to since purchase.

The light box does not contain any fasteners. I would suggest you use small pieces of tape.

They are flat..sticky on one side..pretty flexable..I wrapped mine around my street light poles with no problem..comes with a reel..to store them..I like them...I would buy these again..we get rain here around christmas..With no problems....I don't leave the light on when it rains. . It gets caught in it sometimes

There is 14" between the light bulb screw in to the end of the light box. It does come with light bulbs though.

All three units come with both, but fair warning - the elastic strands on the inner panels which have the velcro pads on the end to attach to the inside of the softbox are very low quality, and degrade VERY quickly from the UV output of the bulbs. I ended up letting the elastic fail entirely (after about three months light usage), and then simply tied loops in the remaining nylon core strands to shorten them with no elasticity. They work absolutely fine that way, and I'd not consider the problem a deal breaker at all, just a minor one-time inconvenience.

The height and width of the base is "standard" for most lighting that attaches to the outside of the property. I had a light up previously that I replaced with this one and the opening was perfectly covered with the new fixture. I think they're pretty standard.

Yes they are adjustable. Be aware, the boxes looked like Ace Ventura delivered them (nothing was busted) & my order did not come with all the screws to hang this fixture off the ceiling. It was not a big deal since I had extras laying around from the remodel. Also make sure if you are using LED bulbs to buy ones with a wide angle(120 degrees). You will be happier with the light coverage.

None that I am aware of at present. I installed my Full Spectrum Light Bulbs (ALZO 45W CFL) in light sockets without a globe or shade (not my original plan). Used in this fashion they throw a lot of light as long as you aren't too concerned about appearances.One is mounted horizontally and another vertically. Both have been in service since the beginning of this year without any problem.

These fixtures are very light. Mine came with small metal spring clips that screw to the ceiling. The fixtures then snap into them.

Once the metal rods are inserted in to both the lighting fixture and the hood, the fixture will be pushed "held" in to place. I adjusted the velcro first when I started, then again once the rods were in place. Hopes this helps.

Mine did have sleeves on the bulbs but were not put in the foam cutouts either. The packaging was very poor almost looked like they were just thrown in but I have had no trouble getting mine to work and still work great.

The bulbs themselves do not have a protective cover or shield. My light fixture had a metal mesh protective cover that went over the bulb.

Yes there is a velcro to attach the softbox to the flash. The problem is if it would fit snugly. I'm using a generic flash and the softbox sometimes falls off. So what I did, I just used a ordinary rubber band so it will hold the softbox tightly around the flash. Hope this helps!

Hello The little plastic cover just snaps onto the lighting unit. You will be able to just pull it off. You might have to use a butter knife or screw driver (unplug everything first!) to get in between the plastic cover and the unit itself. But there isnt any screws or fasteners holding it. Just plastic grooves that hold it in place.. like legos or models that kids build. Hope this helps

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.
