Impact Octacool-6 Fluorescent 2 Light Kit with Octabox (6 Lamps)
Octagonal-shaped light sources have long had a reputation as the preferred portrait-shooter's light source. The shape offers an especially large surface area which produces that legendary "wrap-around" light, which envelopes the subject while creating natural-looking catchlights in the eyes.
The kit is comprised of 2 separate 6-lamp Octacool light heads, each with a removable Octabox, and a light stand. Each of the provided daylight-balanced 27 - 32W (depending on supply) lamps outputs 1,400 lumens of light for a total of 8,400 lumens measured at 3.3 feet. Three switches on the rear of the fixture control 2 lamps each allowing you to vary the output in 2,800 lumen increments. The head's standard 5/8" receiver mounts to a huge variety of light stands and gripware with 5/8" studs.
The included Octaboxes have removable inner baffles and front faces allowing even greater flexibility from hard to ultra-soft light. The light heads also each come with a removable aluminum reflector for a bright, contrasty lighting option. Two sturdy 9.5' (2.9 m) air-cushioned light stands round out the kit.

Comments about Impact Octacool-6 Fluorescent 2 Light Kit with Octabox (6 Lamps):
I bought these units to do cideo inside offices for our company and clients. The lights are plenty plenty bright and much bigger than i expected from the picture. Te switches on the back are very noce in that you can turn on only one pair of lights at a time, giving you a lot of flexibility without the need to dim. The color looks great with the enclosed bulbs, important since we shoot inside and without makeup.
The stands are pretty sturdy, though plastic knobs and connectors, so handle carefully. They have air piston inserts which is nice. Not sure id use them much over 7 feet and not that much outside. Not sure the bases could handle sandbags of any big size.
Comes with both a fabric shade and a metal reflector. The diffusers work well. Everything is very cool, not hot, and there is very verynlittle noise.
I wish the kit came with a small back light.
