The Impact VC-500LR Three Monolight Kit is a complete lighting kit, based on three VC-500LR 500Ws monolights, with features unusual in this price range, such as a 6 f/stop power range (full to 1/32) adjustable in 1/10 stop increments, fast recycling time (2 seconds @ full power), and fully adjustable modeling light level. A re-designed display gives you a large, very legible LCD read-out. The VC-500LR also offers minimal flash color-shift when powering down (~300K). In addition, it has a feature rarely found on a monolight--a Red Eye Reduction photocell sync, which allows you, when using both on-camera flash and the monolight,to set the monolight slave cell to ignore pre-exposure flashes from your on-camera flash. This kit is rounded out with a wireless remote capable of controlling 7 lights, umbrellas, a softbox, light stands, mono to PC sync cord, and a wheeled kit case.
Monolights
- Digital Readout
- Flash power level is easily visible with the red LED readout on the rear of each unit.
- Built-in Optical Slave
- Fire the main light from your camera, and the other monolight "sees" the light from the first one and fires instantaneously.
- Adjustable Modeling Light
- The 250 watt modeling light has a separate adjustment switch that allows you to choose between off, full-on, or ratio-to-flash level.
- Compatible With Bowens Reflectors
- Choose from a large assortment of Bowens reflectors and accessories - the reflector mount is the same.
- Safety Features
- Fan-cooling, an overheat warning buzzer, and 6.3 amp fuse help to protect your investment and prolong the life of the equipment. The low 5VDC sync voltage protects your camera's delicate circuitry.
Accessories
- Umbrellas
- Three white umbrellas with permanent black backing soften the light for more pleasing portraits
- Softbox with Adapter Ring
- The 24 x 36" (61 x 91 cm) silver interior softbox has a removable front diffuser and interior baffle. This permits efficient use of the light and experimentation with lighting effects.
- Light Stands with Removable Studs
- Auminum stands rise to a maximum height of 7.75' (2.36 m). The removable studs permit different mounting angles.
- Wheeled Kit Case
- Sturdy, padded case has ample room for everything in the kit. Separate zippered compartments keep stands and umbrellas apart from the fixtures.

Comments about Impact Three Monolight Kit (120VAC):
I've only pulled these out one time, but I am very pleased with them so far. I had a fun night shooting products for my wife. I was able to do it in my apartment. I read bunch of reviews on these lights before I made the purchase. They were within my price budget and feel like they will be a great starter light for me. They feel durable and look like they are well built.

Comments about Impact Three Monolight Kit (120VAC):
With flash photography it's all about the MW seconds for your value, and the quality of light produced from the lights, and that they work with each other, and your wireless triggers. Though I'm still breaking them in these have been working wonderfully for me, the case they are shipped in is strong and durable, it houses all the cables, pods, lights, and some spares. I purchased this as my first lighting kit outside of the educational scene.

Comments about Impact Three Monolight Kit (120VAC):
I use this lighting kit for ballet portrait's. I can have one dancer all the way up to 12 so lighting is important. This kit is really nice to start with and I can build on it as time goes on. I would have given it a 5 star rating but the directions were minimal.

This system is fairly easy to set up. Although it is very heavy, the rolling bag makes it portable. I have a little bit of trouble making all the pieces fit back in the bag when I'm done, but other than that, I'm happy.
