How deep is this? I need to put some big CFL bulbs in a softbox for video. TIA

It's 24 inches deep, but note the location of where the lightstand goes through the softbox. You'll have some latitude with the placement, but it essentially cuts the depth in half.

The ones I got were 6" deep with no cover. So you could put in longer bulbs but they would stick out.

I returned this item. There bowl that surround the bulb is very light. Dont know how youd attach a soft box. Unit is very bright, and hot.

It's about the size of an extra large gym bag. Yes everything fits into it. I took layers of foam and cut holes into it, so the bulbs would have a secure place to slide in and out of (much easier than the boxes it ships in). All that to say, mines a snug fit, but that's because of the foam bulb holder.

If I remember correctly, the switch box is roughly 1" deep. I suppose it could be mounted anywhere that's waterproof, but this light just doesn't throw much light. I doubt you'll be happy with it.

It's not small and because it houses the bulbs and it's a soft case I wouldn't use it for anything travel related. Overall it's not a very sturdy solution, the parts are flimsy and getting it together is less than fun. Back to the question. probably 3' long by a foot wide and a foot high.

The bottom is about a 4x6 measurement. I'd say it's about 5 inches deep. I'm not sure if the light will be able to fit

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.

You need an umbrella adapter on your lightstand. This is a pretty good soft box but wish it was deeper.

I did have to flex it 1/2 inch to put it in. Its not long 6-7in. the dimensions that are listed is the packaging. picture is not accurate maybe 5500 watt.

Firstly, it is not a video soft box, so it is not vented for cooling and would likely shrink wrap itself to your light and or melt. Secondly, for this price you should know automatically that it has no lamp. And third, it's in the description, read.Now as for "what should purchase to go with" , buy a video light kit, or set up regular flood lights bounced off white reflectors or adjacent walls or ceilings.

Mine is 24" deep and it was noticably weak. I went with the double bright eventually and can not say enough good things. Good luck.

I am not near mine, but I believe it is about 3-4 inches deep when wall mounted.EDIT< Their Website says 2 inches.

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.

Would work probably for a small softbox but would not try it for a medium to large softbox as it is primarily for lighting backdrops or a fill light.

They have similar hardware like installing an electrical outlet. I would say no deeper than 4 inches.

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!
