Title: Buy strobes instead
Review: These lights produce nice daylight balanced light. However, they are VERY dim even with all five bulbs on. This means that even with an ISO of 400, F4.0 and 1/30, you will still get somewhat underexposed, blurry images if you are photographing people. Additionally, the stem for the stand is not balanced on the head. This means that they are very unwieldy and hard to tip up and down. You can get strobes for much less money and they will give you much more versatility. I really wanted to like these lights and am very disappointed in their performance. I really don't understand why they are more expensive than strobes. One would think that the lack of mechanics needed for such a light would keep the cost down.
