This is a Lowel Rifa eX 66 Pro Kit--a two-light kit. It is built around the Pro-light focus flood, and the Rifa eX 66 softbox light. It includes bulbs, gel frames, gels, light stands and an R1-82 hard tube case.
Compact, lightweight, and self-contained, the Rifa-lite eX 66 uses a simple umbrella-like design to achieve its quick and easy set-up and strike capabilities. Optional adapters allow use with fluorescent, or tungsten photoflood bulbs.
With its high-intensity #2 reflector and prismatic glass, the tiny focusable Pro-light is more efficient than a Fresnel of equal wattage, yet it gives an exquisite even light, with Fresnel-like shadow quality. It can be used as a low-level key light or accent light, fill light (with diffusion), or backlight. In addition to a wide variety of customizing accessories, its versatility can be increased by adding a DC adapter cable and swapping its bulb for use as a camera-top fixture.
This kit is equipped for use with 120 AC voltage. It can function with 220-240VAC, and 12-30VDC with the appropriate bulbs and adapter plugs or cables (available separately).

Comments about Lowel Rifa eX 66 Pro Kit:
I'm a videographer that mainly shoots interviews, teleprompter speeches, and testimonial pieces with some b-roll. I've used Arri light kits for years but when it came time to invest in a light kit of my own I wanted something more affordable and easy to fly with. After testing several kits (LED, Florescent, and cheaper Halogen) I decided to go with Lowel since their Rifa's give you great soft light and are easy to set up. I opted to get the kit with a hard case since I do fly a lot and airlines have done some damage to my gear in the past. So far it has come through well, but I do wish the case that it came with was a little bigger so I could add another light to it as my collection grows.A big selling point was also the ability to exchange the bulbs with compact florescent in the future when and if I ever make that switch.So far I haven't been disappointed in using it with my Panasonic AF-100 camera.
