1 | how much kelvin does it have ? 2 | Does this kit work without wireless flash triggers ? and what's the function of the red buttons on the bulbs ?

I am not a professional photographer. However I ordered this unit & rarely use it. The lights are cry bright & aren't adjustable. I would recommend getting something a bit more upscale.

1-it's not a significant source of light by its self to create professional quality lighting. It us good for a hair light, and background lighting. 2-yes, bit it doesn't produce enough light to set off a more powerful main light. 3-the red bottons are for making the lights go off, to warm them up/or test them.

4500? I had this set way back when. It DOES work without triggers and the red buttons are test flash

only flash, you can buy continue lighting also separately (6500 k) if you need this lighting also, you will have two lightings

"k" is the color temp, has nothing to do with lumens or light output. the color will not change with added lights

I don't think these will trigger strobes. If you are using a combination of speedlites and strobes you might consider using an optical trigger on the strobes which would be triggered by the speedlites, assuming line of sight. I like these Pixel units, but switched to PocketWizards for several reasons. The PocketWizards are a much more expensive alternative, but more versatile.

You can program it to do 3 fast flashes then steady on. Make sure to follow the instructions...they're a little confusing for someone with out tech experience.

LED'S draw much less current than a standard incandescent bulb. That's why they hyper flash when you install them without resistors. LED watts are measured in milli-watts. It depends on the LED lamp you buy. If it is a 1W lamp, then divide it with the number of diodes. These LED bulbs are probably no more than 2W or 3W bulbs. Hope this helps!

Most pocket wizards that I've seen (mainly yours) connect to a flash using the 3.5mm jack. This kit will work for most flashes but the pocket wizards will have to hang or be strapped down using rubber bands or velcro. I cheaped out to purchased the Yongnuo Yn-622C. These triggers mount on the bracket and I mount my speedlites onto them. Hope that helps.

The kit comes with 2 triggers and 1 remote to set them off. If you'd like the option of triggering all 3 strobes, you should purchase a 3rd trigger. I bought an extra one, the only thing has been that sometimes there seems to be malfunction in communication and only two strobes will fire instead of all 3. I tried different channel combinations and it did the same. It doesn't happen every time but it's something to be aware off.

HiI own this flash Trigger. They are both recievers and control units. I have 4 and it doesn't matter which one I use for sending or recieving. They work great. Hope this helps. Chris

You can remote 1 (one) flash without it, but if you use two or three flashes, it is required. Hope this helped.

I dont recommend using this bulb at all. At 2700 color kelvin rating - the light it emits is simply too yellow.... Yellow in my opinion is a sad and gloomy color. Go with a 3000K bulb. The higher kelvin rating you go - the whiter the light. Whiter light is a happy color. Aim for 300K - 4000K Kelvin rating range. And this bulb by the way should you still choose to use is indoors only. Feit Electric makes indoor/outdoor flood light bulb combined. You can find them here at Amazon or your local Costco.

It is any normaly open, (N.O.) momentary switch. used on white wires to set flash rates etc. Instead of touching white wires momentarly together. I use tiny switches from Radio Shack, soldered on with heat shrink over it. It is not needed, yet makes it easy to program.

I would suggest these instead: Yongnuo YN-622C Wireless ETTL Flash Trigger Receiver Transmitter Transceiver . After purchasing the Apurture, I realized they were not ETTL and require manual settings on all the flashes.

U don't need ballast on this one. But it gets hot.... Look for slave flash and its almost the same but u need a slave transmitter/receiver

I have not tried it with a flash yet but I will and post my findings for you. However it doesn't make sense as the remote only uses the hot shoe for holding it. It had is own power source do possibly blocking the signal the way it is dangling.. possibly Velcro from the side of the unit to the side of flash.. As I did I will give it a try with flash and let you know the outcome. Give me a couple days..

Are you asking for the Kelvin color or for the Lumens? Neither is listed on the package, but the light is warm white is probably around 4000K (not too warm). The lumens are low and equivalent to a 40W bulb.

Maker replied me - it's in 5,000K. It's Kelvin btw. Still no words on lumens though...
