Yes. I've had good experience with them. I move them around a lot and they are easy to set up and take down, as long as you do it with care.

They are good but not as big and bright as the PBL umbrella lights 850 watt. These are good for secondary lights because they aren't that strong, but they do have a good white daylight temperature and are great for smaller areas.

I would, because they fit my needs for the moment. What are your needs? If you are looking for un-expensive basic soft lights, that do the job. Then you should buy them, if they are not what you are looking for, return them.

This is an excellent product. The entire package exceeded my expectations. Yes I would buy them again.

I got them for less than they are currently listed for, however I'd still pay the current price. I am currently using them for video work and they provide ample light for my needs. If I need more, I know I can swap out the bulbs to get more light. Just have to be careful when balancing them. Sandbags to keep them planted would be a plus but aren't absolutely necessary.

I ordered these for my teenage daughter. She said she was very happy with them. If you want me to ask her additional questions please feel free to ask and I

I just bought these, and they are adequate...not much light, but I didn't want much..just a little fill in my studio when it is an overcast day..I shoot mostly natural light, and wanted these for my newborn shoots :-)

If you have little to no experience with lighting, it's a great starter kit. Very easy to assemble and use. Good quality. Bright enough for my use. I would definitely recommend them.

When I received my softbox, the product box was in perfect condition. The item itself was unharmed and wrapped in a plastic-ish protection cover. If the softbox is damaged, I am sure you can get a refund. Westcott is a good company.

Mine were from deepdiscountsco, I thought they weren't the original ones when I got them but don't know. They were (are) very good. They are on sale right now for 16.00+ that's about 9.00 each. Good price! I wash mine and they last a long time.

They are soft...no noise that I remember but I was disappointed because it was just one, not a set of 2. Hope this helps! :)

They are soft, but you have to be careful to watch the expiration date on the packaging. If it is not several months out then they can become dry. I stopped buying them online first because of the price change (but has since gone back down), but also it's hit and miss with the softness. I only buy in the store where I can see the expiration date and look at the color of the treats. The darker the softer.

Yes they are and still very soft...recommend to following care instructions.

No (if they did I never found them!). However, these are great boxes. If you tape them adequately they are very sturdy and they are a pretty decent size--you can pack a lot in them and the box is still manageable for movers etc...

I would return them. As long as you lay the sheet carefully and neatly over the pictures you shouldn't have a problem. I only purchased one box and I can see now that I will have to order another soon. Wouldn't hesitate to order the same product. Hope this helps.

The soft boxes are reasonably well made, but I consider the 8 cfl lights to be the most delicate items, and storing them properly (the original boxes they come in) is a delicate process that is not worth the risk of damage. They are fairly small soft boxes and when removed from the stands they might be compact enough for storage. Personally, I just leave them up and clustered together in my attic. I find that convenience is a real plus for me. Hope this helps

I think so. They are standard Phillips heads. I am not sure that they say soft but seem pretty soft.

I don't have the box anymore so I cannot answer completely. I do believe they are "heavy-duty" as I've used them and are happy with them. Sorry I cannot completely answer the question. I do think it's a good product and would recommend.

They are soft. The ones we bought broke within 2 weeks. Disappointing to say the least.

Hello! M.T. Great question! I went and checked mine. They are soft to the touch yet firm. I am very happy with this cosmetic bunch. Since it does come from China it will take a while to ship to you. When I contacted them they were so very polite and helpful so I know it was worth the wait. Have not been disappointment. Hope this helps! Happy New Year!!!

Sarah, Isn't it self explanatory? I use my soft box all of the time. I'm wondering if you have the same one.

No. Theyre actually pretty soft and as long as you keep them in good shape they are nice and smooth. Read their instructions that come in the package! Very helpful

Yes They're great they only take up as much room as a shoebox and last a lifetime. I sold my old set to buy these and I had those about 11 years.sold them in the same condition I bought them. After looking around a lot Amazon was the best place to get them.
