Torjim Softbox Photography Lighting Kit, 20'' x 20'' Professional Softbox Lighting Kit with 85W 3000-7500K LED Bulbs, Studio Lights for Photography/Video Recording/Live Streaming/Portraits Shooting

After reading some of the Reviews I was hoping for the best, and although there were some that were slightly Negative, all of my thoughts on this are now Positive.I was actually pretty happy with just the one light after I set it up, but when I set up the other, I was more than happy!Here's what I found when I got them both going...REMOTE: You CAN use ONE remote for both and they will STILL work independently of each other. So, one remote can make the opposite, make one gradually change from Low Brightness to High Brightness, and using that same remote you can then aim at the other and change that one from High Brightness to Low Brightness, if you wanted.So, the Brightness of each is controlled easily however you want to use them, On, off, color-shift, or brightness.The REMOTE is the cheapest made part in this set-up, it is VERY lightweight and it's very cheaply made, and very thin. I am only going to be using one at a time anyway, so if one breaks, I can use the other. Not just that, but they come with new bulbs, see more below.I had read that this was not the case, but, I tested it more than a few times, it does work. I do not know why some people said that it didn't.This is a BIGGY for me, I do product style photography and I placed an object on 'center stage' and watched as the shadows grew and shrank as I played with the remote's Brightness.Before I got this I had to use paper towels for a soft filter, I would also use the supplied light filters, but using them alone is usually not enough to get the amount of light one might need.(I am not referring to color filters, that is different)This is set-up as a professional lighting system, it just works!SET-UP: It all went together REALLY easy, and FAST too!These are not the best made light stands etc., that there is out there, but they are made well, and there's not much to screw up on these, and if you did break something, I am pretty sure it can be fixed easily, or, there may be parts out there that would fit, these appear to me to be very standard/generic stands, and of course, the light socket is standard stuff.MATERIAL: The soft box itself is made well enough, if you take care of it, there's no reason that you would need to replace it, there is no stretching of it when erecting the set-up, so no stress, no problems.The same goes for what they call the white "nylon cover", it creates a very soft shadow when used, and although you are 'supposed to' remove it when placing back into the bag, you don't necessarily have to, and if you did every time, I can't see where that will ever wear out either. It's made well enough and it should serve you for many years to come.STAND: The stand itself is sturdy enough, I don't foresee any problems at all, moving it up and down doesn't make it wear really, so this also should last for many, many sessions.Tightening and loosening the knobs are the only place that I can see that could create a problem when used over and over, it is the only place that might wear throughout time. Again though, these should be standard replacement parts from reputable online or brick and mortar stores. These are not the best, but for what you pay, they are worth every bit of it.If one broke during a shoot, just use gaffers tape until you get a new part.LIGHT: Now, for the light itself, that is where my confidence dwindles, not yet, I just received it, but that will more than likely be where your first problem will arise. I have zero knowledge of this type of bulb, although it accepts the standard sizes bulbs used in your home, the dimming and color-shift parts of the bulb is what sets it apart from the rest.These are not super expensive, but they aren't that cheap either. They are sold by themselves, or in pairs on Amazon and elsewhere, so finding them is not hard, or, that expensive.I believe that when you buy a new bulb (from what I saw on Amazon) you will also get a new remote, so that would mean that to get all of the bulb's features, you will need to buy one either exactly the same, or a similar one that would have its own remote, by a different brand.You could use ANY light bulb in this if you had to, you can use the on-off (only) switch on the electrical cord between the lamp and the wall plug. That would just be for an emergency type scenario.Buy a back-up set of lights, that would be my suggestion.One more thing on the lamp itself, they are 'soft lamps', not harsh, which is good most of the time. If you do end up needing a harsher light, it will not be what you want. As it happens, only yesterday on my first try I found that I needed a more harsh shadow, so I ended up using my old smaller LED lights.I'm sure that somewhere there are some lamps that are harsh, but these are not them.DOUBTS: I did have doubts, but as of now, I am extremely impressed with this set-up, and if it continues to work like it is now I am a really happy customers, of course, time is the big factor here, time will tell.Aside from that, buy this, and if it works like mine, you will not be sorry.

Torijim provides Awesome Customer Service. I’m a beginner taking photos to post and the lighting is great, portable and folds up easily for storage. I had a part missing and instead of making me send the whole package back, they shipped me the missing part and a whole new light kit. I’m so amazed at their product and customer service.

These are great. I ended up buying a second set so I can have a key, fill, and back light plus light up my background too. The remote is perfect at only changing the one light I point it at. I admit I'm a bit confused about what the "mode" button does and whether the "modes" are just presets for the light temperature or something more than that, but I have no difficulty getting the light temperature or brightness the way I want it. The tripods, bulbs, and diffusers are good quality, they're easy to set up, and my video quality is great now.

For the price, this softbox light set is a great deal. I do wish there was more control over the brightness, but overall, it's a solid product. The carry bag is a nice touch, and the setup was fairly straightforward, though a bit tedious. My main concern is with the stands - they feel a little wobbly. I can't seem to get them tight enough to hold their shape, so they tend to tip forward slightly since they're a bit top-heavy. While I think with some adjustment I could stabilize them better, the lights still do the job perfectly, providing ample lighting for filming and photography.

These softboxes are fantastic for at-home photography and content creation! They were super easy to set up right out of the box, and the adjustable lighting options (3000K to 7500K) give you so much flexibility for different vibes and shooting styles. Whether I’m filming videos, taking product photos, or doing live streams, the lighting is bright, clean, and professional-looking. Great quality and value for the price—definitely a must-have for any creator’s setup!

Great for home use, or very budget production. Anything more, you are dealing with something that can’t hold up the best. The light bulbs themselves aren’t the worst but the stands and all other accoutrements are lightweight and not at all times in the best way.

Range of brightness is good. I liked them so much that I bought a second pair to remove shadows.

The truth is that I was surprised by the price it is, it's really worth it, it fulfills its function very well
