The light socket features a high heat ceramic socket and all high heat metal that won't melt like units with plastic sockets. It also features a wooden control handle that stays cool, and includes a built-in adjustable umbrella mount. The attached cord comes with an in-line switch, and the adjustable metal mount features a 5/8" receiver for light stands and an 8mm umbrella receptacle.
The light stand is air cushioned. Air cushioning gently lowers the light, preventing damage to light fixtures and fingers when section locks have not been properly tightened.

Comments about Impact Three-Floodlight Kit:
This kit is marketed for entry-level videographers so you'd think there would be some documentation on how to assemble the items. I gave up after an hour and ended up having a friend who's an experienced videographer put it together. Directions should be included for those who may not have previously assembled lighting equipment.

Comments about Impact Three-Floodlight Kit:
Good kit for the money. One of the rings that hold the dome on was broken and the bulbs did not work. Once it was set up it did just fine. Hate having to buy more bulbs before I get to try it once.

Comments about Impact Three-Floodlight Kit:
This is an excellent lighting kit. I returned a previously purchased kit for this one, and was pleasantly surprised how well built this one is. I'm just getting into the business of taking portraits and needed a good lighting set up. I scoured the internet in search of something that would not break my budget but at the same time something that was going to do the job. These lights have done that and then some.[...] As I stated earlier...they are once, twice, three times the lights.
Comments about Impact Three-Floodlight Kit:
For the price and what it gives you to start experimentingwith novice/semi-professional photography and video, thiskit is great. Sure you can hack together a homemade kit forless money, but this is really nice equipment that sets upand packs back down well, and will last you for years.If you'll be doing studio-type photography and/or video andyou're in the market for a camera, adjust your budget andget less camera and spend a little bit on lighting such asthis kit and you'll be very happy with the results.
Problems Encountered: It appears that the socket is supposed to slide into themetal shoe mount on the bracket, however it was a tad tightand I couldn't get it to slide in (even after making surethe shoe mount screw was sufficiently loosened.) However,it works ok to simple remove the shoe mount and screw thesocket directly onto the bracket. Not quite as slick, butit works fine. Maybe that's the way it's supposed to attach?
