Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any tungsten or flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a lightbox.
This kit will augment any flash, strobe heads or small tungsten-halogen light heads (up to 500 watts) that have umbrella receptors. The light stands are sturdy and reliable, to their maximum height of 8 ft. A case with handle is provided for ease of storage and transport.
The 8' Photoflex Lightweight Black Light Stand is designed to support small to medium size light fixtures, with umbrellas or softboxes up to 24 x 36 inches. It has three sections, two risers.

Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.
This size is perfect for a 1-2 person head, or head-to-waist shot, or a 4x6 ft product setup.
