Comments about Altman Soft-Lite Jr Fill Light - 1000 Watts (120-240VAC):
Soft-lights are essential to evenly lighting a room, and this light does just as it describes, with a compact design packed with many useful features. The pop-off bottom makes lens replacement a breeze, and is aerated sufficiently to spread out heat transfer. The yoke knobs lock down tight, and the included gel holder is a nice added touch. Be cautious of your intended use for this product, as it doesn't come standard with a 5/8 Baby Receptor. So if your intent is to mount this on a light stand, make sure you specify the receptor you need, or else a Yoke to Baby adapter is required (a smart option if you need the versatility of mounting between a baby stud and c-clamp).
One disadvantage this light holds: there is no power switch, so striking the light is limited to plugging in and out of an outlet.
Bottom line: An effective alternative to pricier brands, with useful features that make the unit highly versatile.
