Produces plenty of continuous light but without the heat of quartz or photoflood outfits. The Cool-Lite 5 holds (5) daylight-balanced spiral fluorescent lamps and generates the same amount of light as a typical 500 watt photoflood unit, but without the heat or electrical usage. Each lamp has an individual switch on the reflector's control panel, so you can use just 1 lamp or all 5 as your needs require. The 16" diameter reflector generates flicker-free soft light and has a wide distribution pattern. For even more lighting control and softness, attach the included 24" softbox. Well-suited for digital, film, and video use and for product photos, food shots and head & shoulder portraits. The Cool-Lite 5 kit consists of a 16" reflector, 24" softbox, (5) fluorescent lamps, and AC cord. (Light stand not included.)
