I need to take product photography high res photos for use in selling products online. Will these provide good lighting for product photography?

Yes. They have 5 bulbs in each fixture that can each be turned on/off to give you exactly the amount of light you need. I love mine.

Most certainly. They are so good, I bought 2 sets and have used them regularly for over a year now.

Yes, depending on your product (size/color, etc...), with the right distance and # of lights, it should be good for almost anything. For me it was barely good enough for some modeling photos, which require much higher film speed due to some movement... but for inanimate objects, use a tripod and you should be good for almost anything, anywhere. I even use one of these units to enhance light for indoor table tennis!

These ARE paper thin, and if the lighting is cool to warm, they should work well for you. They did not work well in my application however. They were sold as being able to be used with hot theatrical lighting, but they will melt and ruin anything moderately hot that they come in contact with. Hope this helps.

They're barely OK. If your subject is moving, you may have problems. I'm using them for a seated talking head, and they work alright for that. Of course, some of it will depend on your camera. I like the cool temperature, and my household wiring would not be able to handle old fashioned lights.

They are pretty decent for the price. More than powerful for the price. You don't need 3 to do portraits; you can do a portrait with 1 light. It just depends what look you are trying to get.

I think they'd be fine. They're smaller than my Minolta 10X and have a little smaller FOV, but the light gathering and clarity is excellent.

These lamps are very good to use for your video shooting I use them photographing wedding, portraits also video. :-)

Yes with the proper photo paper you will get excellent photos. Hope this helps you.

Yes but only as a modeling light, it won't give off enough light to shoot some photos that you might want.

I think so. The bulbs don't get very hot. 110 is plenty. I'm thinking anymore than that it will look over exposed... And this also depends on the type of photography/video productions you're going to do. I was satisfied with them but only a little close up. I think you would have to find a bigger soft box. The bigger the soft box the better quality the light. These really need to be used close unless you adjust your camera settings and even then, some come out grainy looking. This really is a good deal for the price, but the boom stand is really sensitive and the soft boxes tip over easy. I broke one of the bulbs in mine. I think so.

I would personally want a lot more light for video. I think this is better for still shots with a camera on a tripod and a slow shutter speed.

A candle and box of matches can be used as a backup. Okay that's a joke, BUT in my experience all except for the darkest scenarios, available light exposures yield better photos than the flash.

Yes. However, these are very cheaply constructed and rickety. I would suggest a slightly heavier duty light stand. Possibly the Paul Buff 10' (http://www.paulcbuff.com/ls3050.php) or the PBL (http://www.amazon.com/PBL-Cushioned-Kaeser-Photographic-Lighting/dp/B009POMCGW/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1421216017&sr;=8-1&ke;ywords=10%27+light+stand).

Yes but beware that the quality of your shots will degrade in anything other than bright light. If I had it to do over again I wouldn't buy the set.

Yes, I use them to protect some autographed 8x10 photos and have found them very useful. They have a slight tint which I believe is to reduce UV exposure, but I cannot confirm that. They are thick enough to be hardy but still manageable.

no light bulbs don't come with it. Nor does the stands. I talked to a guy who was an amature photographer and he suggested a light in the mid blue range. I don't remember the exact recommendation but something with a slight blueish tint is supposed to be good for product shoots.

it depends. some are better quality than the others, all depends on the pictures you are lightscribing

No use in daylight or get a led flash light and use 400 ASA film Fuji works good. And use a tripod. Long exposure product real interesting photographs.
