I'm confused,,,,,,white or colors...? Does that mean it comes with both white & color shades? What does "NOT CFA COMPLIANT" mean? Thanks

you get 5 white shades and 5 multi-color ones, so you can install what works for you and you can swap them too.

It does come with white AND colored shades. That I know. As to the other question, I think it means it doesn't use the new bulbs, but I'm not sure about that. I do know the bulbs they sell with it do not fit.

I think you have to order either color or white. I ordered the white. There were no color shades with my lightsw. Don't know about the non CFA part.

It means it comes with 5 white shades and 4 color shades so you can make it all white shades or multi color shades. also because it does not come with the bulbs it is not CFL Compliant. It is UL listed item, which means it went through testing and passed.

So... Like the reviews, the answers are different. Sandra and Elizabeth say it includes the chart and the cards. Ed says it includes the chart only (blue chart)... The description only makes mention of the cards.. not the pocket chart. I ended up canceling my order.. as, I don't want to have two pocket charts.. nor do I want to get the cards, only to realize I needed to buy a blue pocket chart (that would need to fit the pre-made cards).The reviews all say different things too. Some say it's cards only. Some don't mention anything. One said it was the chart and no cards??

Hey, it's a very thin white diffuser. It's on the ligh it self in this photo. Thin enough that in te photo you can just about see each LED light. I was hoping for more of a thinker diffused filter. I also had to retune 3 of them due to strips on LEDs not working. The color is also more on the purple side of light rather than a nice daylight balance. So when you white balance for the light te back round tend to fall in the green is hue a bit. Also I bought 3 fotodiox version of this light. 100% the same light by they did not give me the amber filter. Very nice lights for the price. Make sure all the leds work, can always add more diffuser paper if needed. Hope that helped. Hey, it's a very thin white diffuser. It's on the ligh it self in this photo.

I just ordered this and partly because I thought it was a light pink! Off white/Beige will be fine as well, but not as cool. LOL.

i have the same question. i understand the difference between FFP and SFP and im sure the OP does too. but in the item's description, it says "Options of First Focal Plane or Second Focal Plane Reticle". what the hell does that mean?? you can switch the reticle back and forth between the first and second planes? there are no options to choose which model when you add it to your cart. so which one do you end up with? can someone answer that without trying to educate us on the difference between FFP and SFP?

To answer my own question since all three of the above posters got it wrong, the color is a off white, like a slight bone white. Its not pure white. Most people wouldn't notice, but it matters if you're trying to match other white accessories.

Hi, ours is blue and white. I just checked on Google (English is our second language) what "plaid material" meant and you can see the pattern in our basket on the rightmost image displayed. Ours is a bit darker blue, actually. Thank you, now we know what it means.

The grey one appears to be traditional 18% (and the white one probably traditional 90%), but these cards are a bit small for setting EXPOSURE with (as you might using a traditional handheld lightmeter). As a long time experienced photographer (including a lot of studio shooting), for me, EXPOSURE is NOT the significance use for these. (With a digital camera exposure can generally be determined easily using regular shooting procedures) Rather setting WHITE BALANCE (WB) with the neutral grey card is VERY useful. With it, you can create a custom WB in the camera to use while shooting in a particular light, or use the WB eyedropper in ACR (raw) to find neutral grey color temp during post-processing. For PP use, the grey card does not have to be close to the camera nor a big part of the frame. Do one shot with grey card showing to use as a reference in PP, then hide the card and finish your shoot under that particular light. Happy (neutral WB) shooting!

From my experience, it seems to prefer to default to black and white for faxes. I have yet to receive / send a color fax successfully without it being "downgraded" to black and white due to restrictions from the sending / receiving fax machine on the other end. The black and white faxes do come out quite chrisp, however. I've owned this machine for 2 years and overall I'm satisfied with it.

You mean when you buy this sample pack, you want to change one of these colors for a different one? Unfortunately, I believe the answer is no, you can't; you'll have to buy the color separately. On the other hand, I can tell you that the colors they offer in the sample pack are A) all pretty cool (cooler than they look in the photo), and B) you can (kind of) blend the colors with each other to get interesting new shades....

I got one white, 5 shades of yellow including an actual gold pencil, 2 orangey colors (two of the yellows are bordering on orange), 3 shades of pink, 5 reds, 5 purple, 5 blue, 8 greens, 1 teal, 1 aquamarine, 6 browns, 1 peachy- tan, 1 black and 1 silver. That is just a generalization of the colors. Over all I think it's a good set cause the color spectrum varies between yellow and orange and pink and red...etc. it's hard to tell where one color stops and another one starts. That's a good sign to me cause there are lots of "in between" choices.

I bought one of these white box offers. It means it came in a kit sale with multiple lens. These lens came packed in separate packing, the white box. Some people would rather upgrade to a better lens. Some of the better lens cost more than the camera. Over all, it works just fine and I could tell mine was not used. That being said, the better the lens, more options for a clearer more defined focus at distances. Hope this helps

I was hesitant as well but it is definitely white. Not off white or cream. White like a crayon!!

That's what I use: "White". I really like it, because it eliminate the harsh effect of the undiffused flash, when taking snapshots in dim lit places. Restaurants, hallways etc. I've found no use for the other colors!

I bought four of the same type. Not sure that it really matters much if you are setting the white balance of your camera before shooting. That should compensate for differences in light spectrum.

Mine also came in the same color as the main product, not white or taupe but more of an off white. If I recall correctly, when I ordered the extensions the description also said white and I had the same concern that what I would get wouldn't match, but after reading the other answers/questions it seemed like it's just an inconsistency in their verbiage. It worked out for me - everything is the same color.

Mine is blue and white, I don't know if it comes in other colors or not. It's nice and works great.
