Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of KT750U 750-Watt Thrifty Photoflood Kit
Customer Review: Great lights for the price.
Summary: 4 Stars
I think these lights are great for the price. The light stands are really nice and sturdy. I plan on upgrading to the 500w bulbs for portraits though, the 250w are not quite at bright as I would like.
My only complaint is they were a little tricky to put together, and two of the three bulbs burnt out the first time I used them after I bumped into them.
*Update 3-3-09:
The more I have had a chance to use these lights the more disappointing I am with them. I needed the light stands and umbrellas anyway so im glad I got them for that reason, but the lights are just not powerful enough even with 500 watt bulbs. They light they put out is really ugly and yellow and they get so hot, I never fail to burn myself when I use them.
Customer Review: Overall, the lights are very bright as if you were in heaven!
Summary: 4 Stars
I rate this product as 4/5 because the way they packed and the quality of the materials.
One of the Aluminum Reflectors, I believe that's what it called, got a minor damage from the side due to poor packaging.
The quality of the umbrellas silk is not worth the price it posted.
However, the lights are very bright and I like it.
Overall, the product is ok but the quality and packaging are not worth the price it posted.
Customer Review: Just what I needed
Summary: 5 Stars
These lights are well-suited for my needs. I think they'll get me started off with a little studio just fine. They're tough enough for my needs. I did get a surprise when I wanted to add on some diffusers, though. They were nearly $30 a piece for what seemed like next to nothing. So if you think you might want to add accessories, it might be a good idea to buy them as part of a kit at the beginning... I think you'll pay more later as add-ons.Customer Review: Good value
Summary: 4 Stars
Not exactly a pro grade kit but for what you pay its good value. Can light up a family portrait on location with no problems. Not so portable as there is no included case but light enough to carry around in a box if you have to. The included 250W bulbs are bright and not too yallowish.
Even though it is intended for photo shoots, I'd even use it with in-door video for HDV/DV pro-sumer projects.
Customer Review: Cheap Quality but great light for the price
Summary: 5 Stars
I received these as a gift and as a high end amateur photographer, I was very impressed. The construction is pretty low (one of the umbrellas was stripped before I took it out of the box) but if you can handle a fairly flimbsy set up, the light is FANTASTIC. I'd highly recommend for a photographer who wants lights but won't use them all the time. Works a heck of a lot better than a few desk lamps! :)
