The Three Lamp Dual-Bulb/Dual Power 1,500/3,000 Watt Continuous Lighting Studio Kit

Tell me more about these items:
MX-TWIN Dual Bulb Lights	SoftBoxes	Lightstands	Barndoors	Carrying Case	Freebie #1	Freebie #2

	The Lights: These are exciting new lamps - each one comes with TWO Independently-Controlled 500 Watt Bulbs. You can turn on one bulb for 500 watt output, or, with the flip of a switch, turn on the second bulb and Double the Power to 1,000 Watts. This gives us wonderful control over our lighting, providing double wattage output from 500 watts to 1,000 watts. Many setups require us to light one side of a subject at full power, and the other side at 1/2 power, and these lights give us easy control with the flip of a switch. Tell me more
	The SoftBoxes: The softbox is one of the most beneficial and helpful lighting accessories ever invented, and the "Soft" part of its name refers to the wondrous thing it does to the light. The soft, mellow, virtually shadowless light the SoftBox caresses and beautifies your subjects - on a person, the soft light of the softbox gently hides the lines and wrinkles on the faces of our portrait clients, making them look younger and more vital than they really are (that's why folks pay photographers, y'know :) it's our job to make folks look as good as they can possibly look. The same goes for our products - it especially helps reduce or eliminate reflections and "hot spots" on reflective products, like glass, chrome or paintings; helping them look great as well. That's why the pros use light modifiers like SoftBoxes - and now so can you. Tell me more
	The Light Stands: These are excellent quality, heavy-duty tubular light stands. These Brand New professional light stands extend to a height of 7 1/2 Feet, and fold down (fully assembled) to a tad over 3 feet for easy packing, storing, and transport. These stands have a black finish which reduces unwanted glare; three vertical tubular sections, and three double-braced legs, which provide excellent stability in the studio or on location. Tell me more
	Barndoors: Barndoors have movable and removable flaps, mount on the front of the lights, and constrain the light to the area we want it to illuminate. Barndoors allow us to direct the light anywhere our creative little photographic hearts desire! We can keep them wide open, or close them down to a little slit when we want to highlight a specific portion of our subject. Just one more of the useful light-modifying devices in the well-equipped photographer's toolbox.

Here's some information about MX Twin Dual-Bulb

Perfectly Light Balanced for PERFECT Still Digital Images, Digital Video or Analog Video Imaging, or Movie Productions!
	After all, folks, the word "photographer" itself (from Greek) actually means Light Writer, or "one who writes with light." The term is meaningful because those of us who make photographs, videos, and movies are slaves to light. Light is both our nemesis and our salvation (when we can control the light). Without the right types of lighting equipment, we can never progress to professional level images and videos. Look closely at the light, and you'll see not just one bulb, but TWO bulbs; and each is separately controlled. This gives us unparalleled versatility, since we can use one bulb for 500 watts output, and with a flip of a switch, turn on the second bulb and get double the output, to 1,000 watts.
Sure, we can make beautiful photos and videos with available light... when the light's just right, at the exact time we need it, and at exact place we need it, if it's not raining, if it's not snowing, if it's not too cold, if it's not too hot, if it's not too dark, if everyone we need to make the photographs or videos are available at the exact time the light's just right for our needs, under all the right conditions.... beginning to see now? When we can control the light, we can make the best images. Why are photogs so in love with their studios? BECAUSE (in our studios) WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! And a "studio" can be a corner of any room, as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT. In our studios, we can play God! We can make it daytime or evening or night; we can shoot 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. We can CREATE anything we can imagine - as long as we can CONTROL THE LIGHT! And remember, the title "photographer" includes videographers and moviemakers as well (as when the movies describe the position as "director of photography").

Why do photographers want professional lighting equipment so badly? Why are they willing to spend the baby's food money on them? Because (both indoors and outdoors) with our lighting equipment, WE CAN CONTROL THE LIGHT! Sound familiar? Starting to get the picture, now? (sorry, I just couldn't resist ;-) Yes, until now, photogs DID have to spend a small fortune on lighting equipment - but not any more - as you can clearly see from these super-low prices! And as you can also see (from the images above and below), this Powerful Quartz-Halogen Lamp comes fully equipped!

Don't let the low price of this kit fool you; these are NOT "cheapo" lights - they're full-featured and fully-powered! They're brand new A.C. units, which means all you have to do is plug it into any household power socket or extension cord - and it never needs batteries! They come with built-in carrying / adjustment handles, a built-in light stand attachment, and a built-in umbrella holder . The ONLY part of these lights that are "cheap" is the price! In fact, when you check my feedback, you'll see lots of comments like "much better than I expected," and "really GREAT lights!" Heck, I just might have to double the price so folks can feel they've purchased a top-quality product. ;-) Just kidding (sorta:). But this great light is truly a fabulous deal at just about any price. Well, almost any price anyway. :) Sure, you can probably search around and find cheaper prices on lower-quality equipment; there's no product in the world that someone can't make with lower-quality components, unskilled assemblers, and by exploiting the workers, but rest assured that you'll never find a better value than these great lights.

Here's some information about SoftBoxes

What's a SoftBox - and is it really soft? ;-) The SoftBox is perhaps the most beneficial lighting accessory ever invented, and the "Soft" part of its name refers to what it does to the light, and not what it feels like. The soft, mellow, virtually shadowless light the SoftBox gives us caresses and beautifies your every subject - be it person or product! On people, the soft light of the softbox gently hides the lines and wrinkles on the faces of our portrait clients, making them look younger and more vital than they really are (that's why folks pay photographers, y'know :) it's our job to make folks look as good as they can possibly look. That's why the pros use light modifiers like SoftBoxes - and now so can you. And for objects and products, the magnificent softness of the light envelopes products, bringing out delicate, beautiful, details, and reduces any reflections or "hot spots" on shiny or reflective surfaces. Truly fabulous lighting for jewelry, clothing, artworks, and virtually any other item you can think of. Because of this magical mellowness, I'm including these fabulous softboxes with this great professional lighting package. You will be amazed at the results you'll get with softbox lighting. Without light-modifying equipment like these softboxes, the harsh direct lighting fails to make our subjects look good, and casts hard, deep shadows. I guarantee you, you'll never see a professional photographer's studio, or television studio, or movie studio that doesn't have lots of softboxes. With this great kit, now you'll have your own well-equipped photo/video studio - and your images will show it!

Here's some information about Light Stands

These are truly excellent quality, heavy-duty light stands. This Brand New PhotoBright light stand extends to a height of 7 1/2 Feet, and folds down (fully assembled) to a tad over 3 feet for easy packing and transport. These stands have a black finish which reduces unwanted glare; three vertical sections (19mm, 16mm, 13mm), and three double-braced legs (16mm), which provide excellent stability in the studio or on location. They're topped with a standard 3/8" stud with 1/4" thread, type A. Sturdy as all get out, yet only weigh about 4 lbs. (so you can pack up a set of three stands for around 12 lbs. for location shoots - believe me, schlepping around anything heavier can give you a hernia, especially when added to all your other gear). Yet these babies can be folded up and put in the corner of your closet and take up very little space. For beginners, these are LIGHT stands, NOT tripods. A tripod is designed to hold a camera; a light stand is designed to hold - guess what? - a LIGHT. There's a reason for this, and I won't go into any more detail here, but trust me, it's what you need for holding lights in a lighting studio. I've been using these same stands for over 9 years now, and couldn't be happier! You'll probably love 'em, too. They're sized perfectly for multiple uses: with a low height of under 4 feet, they're great for background lighting; at their full 7.5 feet, they're perfect for lighting standing subjects, lighting from above or sitting subjects, or even hairlights; and adjusting them anywhere in-between, they're perfect for subject-level lighting, whether you're photographing kids or adults (or things)! BTW, as stated herein, you'll be buying brand new light stands here, NOT my used ones (those are mine! you can't have them; I like them, and I'm gonna keep them; you go buy your own! (hey, at this great price, who can resist? :). Of course, there are smaller and lighter and bigger and heavier stands available, too. You da boss.

	Ever have your cellular phone fail to find a signal when you really needed it? Those of us who have cell phones, have them because we never know when we'll find ourselves in a situation where it will save our butts (or those of our spouses, kids, or friends) from some emergency. Other times, when we're on our cell phone with an important call, we discover that we've just "dropped" the call during the most important part of our conversations. It's happened to all of us, and I really hated it when it happened to me! We've all seen the ads on TV and in the magazines and newspapers for these Cell Phone Antenna Boosters, and hundreds of thousands have been sold for $19.95 each! And, yes, they DO help (I've tried them on my own cell phones). They're easy to install (just peel and stick them behind the battery). To be perfectly honest (and I always am:), they're not as "Wonderful" as the TV ads make them out to be (what is?:), but they really do help pull in the cell signals when you're in a "fringe" area or inside buildings. I certainly don't think they're worth $20, but in an emergency, these little antenna boosters could make the difference for you. And one thing's for sure: you can't beat the price! It's FREE! I just happened to come upon a fabulous deal for these cellular phone antenna boosters, and I feel that it's something we should all have - after all, when an emergency happens to us, we'll NEED to have a connection that will work (but no guarantees:)!
