Comments about Westcott Spiderlite TD3 Backlight Kit (120VAC):
I like the cool fluorescent TD3 continuos lighting system from Westcott, durable, adjustable light levels, easy to operate. This kit has a 3-light head with stand and a very unique reflector for keeping light spills off your subject and on the background. It even comes with a protective cover to protect the lamps so you can leave them on the head. The stand is short and just the right height. Very good design and construction overall. Certainly worth the investment.

Comments about Westcott Spiderlite TD3 Backlight Kit (120VAC):
Very soft even background light provides excellent separation. I have found this light works very well on location to fill shadows with soft even light. No more harsh strobe shadow casts.
