3.0 out of 5 stars Great product for your money meant to give it 5 stars, September 27, 2007

By	Barbara Karpp "Garf68" (Valencia, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I am used to using strobes but found this constant light set to work rather well. My lights did arrive ontime but two of the lights weren't working. I called Westcott Photo Basics directly and was very happy with their great service. They had me ship the two heads back to them free of charge and was returned in a fast amount of time. The background could be a little thicker but still works well. I have my own background stands so I didn't need their hooks with adhesive strips. Also haven't used their fool proof floor mat but for people who may need it I think it is a good idea. The DVD is also ok for people who haven't photographed people.
Over all this is a great set for the money.

5.0 out of 5 stars great first studio light kit, February 12, 2008

By	J. Morrissey - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased the three-light kit and it is perfect! Everything comes in a nicely packaged travel case. The instructional DVD is excellent. It guides you through the whole process of setting up the lights, and how to adjust them for your subject. It's very easy to use. All the portraits I have taken so far have turned out great!
