Less is more--sometimes. The Arri Softbank D1 Three-Light Kit was designed with modern, light-sensitive digital media in mind, so you can accomplish even more than you might think with the 1100 total watts in this package. Three of Arri's most popular Fresnel lights form the core of this complete lighting outfit: the Arri 150W is a small Fresnel with great performance and rugged construction, with a 2" (50 mm) Fresnel lens; the very efficient 300W Plus Fresnel uses a 3.2" (80 mm) low expansion, borosilicate Fresnel lens to produce a soft, even field of light. The 650W Fresnel features the same lens, reflector, housing and power cord as the 300W Fresnel, producing (of course) more light. A Chimera 16 x 22" softbox is included (perfect for interviews and soft light in tight spaces), as well as barndoors, filter frames, light stands, bulbs, a ceiling scissor clamp and a hard compact wheeled carrying case for storage and transport. This kit is equipped for 120V AC operation. It will also function with 220-240 AC Voltage, with the appropriate bulb and plug adapter, available separately.

Comments about Arri Softbank D1 Three-Light Kit:
There were no instructions on how to put the bulbs in the lamps and it was a very difficult process . Otherwise once the bulb fiasco was completed , they worked perfectly .
