Aside from the awkward assembly of this product, it is wonderful!! I use it for my food photography when there is no window light available, and it certainly does the job well. I've also used it for portraits in a pinch. The pictures come out great!

The entire experience is designed to be easy. [...] Lowel has done a great job of packaging the Ego as the illustrations on the box and the related directions made it a snap to assemble the light from box open to fabulous light in under 5-minutes. The only improvement I would suggest is to offer a box to store it in so you don't have to take it apart to cart it around.

- only two bulbs, good as fill light only
- cannot control light output
- assembly based on bending paper and plastics into position, holds together by friction/resistance
- stand not very secure, easy to tip over
- short power cord
- illumination spotty not even

This is a nice, inexpensive soft light for videography & photography. We are using it for video in a small room, so it's important that it not get hot. The color is quite blue, not warm. The thread on the bottom of a light is a standard camera/tripod mount, which is fine if you're a camera person, but caused my husband problems for a while because he kept trying to mount it on a mic stand and didn't have the connectors.

I use this for food photography. I need a cool light source that can move in close and can be easily used on a table top. This is the light. I almost always use the reflector board that comes with it. It gives a nice flat light that is great for food and small product photography.

I use this light for indoor photos for my food blog. My kitchen has zero natural light, and the Ego light provides consistent, even lighting for staged shots. I also mounted it on a tabletop tripod which is nice for changing the lighting effects slightly for each shoot.

I use it for food photography, mostly to put on my blog. It provides a nice even light, and the reflector is easy to maneuver to get the lighting I want. I didn't even realize it had a tripod mount...that makes it even more useful. I just keep it parked on a tripod near the table where I shoot, and it's always ready. It puts out enough light that I can handhold at 400 ISO with big apertures.

This is my second purchase of an Ego light. I use them for quick and easy food photography, and they're perfect for that task. They're quite easy to set up, and I just pull them out every time I need to snap a quick recipe shot. The ability to put them on light stands is also a huge plus.

I was looking for a simple lighting set up that would work in my small studio set up and would be very mobile. I bought 2 of these lights. They give nice even daylight, are so easy to use, they use little electricity and stay cool. I love the fact that they have a tripod mount. When mounted on a tripod I can not only tilt the light in any direction but also use as an overhead light by tilting 90 degrees so the light is above the table.

Comments about Lowel Ego Digital Imaging Fluorescent Light (120VAC):

These lights are great for a number of reasons. First of all, they are inexpensive and easy to assemble. The quality of the light they produce is soft and easy on the eye. The amount of light they produce, while not brilliant seems adequate for digital photography even at ISO 100. I purchased these for a few reasons. I had to do a color test in the studio of a number of dilutions of a beverage. The color temperature of the lights were perfect for the client to see a line up of clear glasses and make some decisions on the brewing of the beverage for photography.
Secondly, there are times that I do not want to set up lights for a quick shot of something-these eliminate sync cords, flash packs, etc- down and dirty, but with a good soft quality light.
I recommend them for everyone from entry level shooters to the studio pro who just needs a quick light that still looks good.

Comments about Lowel Ego Digital Imaging Fluorescent Light (120VAC):

I wanted a simple lighting solution for non-professional food photography and this fits the bill perfectly. Naturally, it doesn't take the place of a professional lighting system, but it produces some terrific results without a lot of fuss and elaborate setup.

I use this product to take digital images of products and it couldn't work better! I have very little post-photography editing to do now which speeds up the process a lot - well worth the investment! Two working together is quite bright so you do need a good amount of space to set them up on so images aren't over-lighted.

I use the Ergo Fluroscent light for photographing my Jewelry Line. The Crisp and Clear pictures are great. It removes all shadows and I love my Lights. I would purchase these lights over and over again. Anyone wanting the professional look without the BIG expense should have these lights.
