Bowens Esprit II DX 2-Light Kit (120VAC)
- No Longer Available
The Bowens Esprit DX Two Monolight Kit has more than ample strobe power for almost any studio or location lighting situation. Each 1000W/s monolight has a dial-down power range of six f/stops-down to 1/32 of full power. The power levels are easily visible in digital readouts and adjustable in 1/10th stop increments.
A 250W modeling light makes composing and focusing easy.
This 2 light kit provides a total of 2000W/s-ample power for shooting large groups of people (10-12), or smaller subjects, using a very small f/stop. It includes 1 umbrella, 1 39 x 39" softbox, 2-7' light stands, an infra-red wireless trigger, monoplug to PC sync cord, and a kit case.

Comments about Bowens Esprit II DX 2-Light Kit (120VAC):
It's definitely a Good Value, but I have to say I wasn't that impressed with many factors, like the fact the light heads are kinda slow, I guess it's an old model, and some things are ridiculously dumb: For example the Flash Cell and the IR receiver is to one side of the flash head, and in many cases it's hard to reach.Another thing that disappointed me a little is the soft box quality, I own another Bowens Softbox (that's smaller) and i love it, but this size in particular is not so convenient (at least not for models and full body) and the construction is somewhat poor. The front diffusion panel is sort of loose.By the other hand they are good lights, good price, good light stands, nice carrying bag.[...]
