The Raya Portable Studio Kit was put together by B&H to give photographers a lightweight core setup for portraits, products, and general photography. The kit includes a background support system with carry case which can handle 53" seamless paper or up to 10' wide muslin backgrounds. Two A-clamps are included to secure the background. Also included are an LED Lamp Holder with an umbrella socket to hold the included 33" translucent umbrella and a 60W Edison-based LED lamp that outputs the tungsten equivalent of 250W.
Raya Background Support Kit (Small)
Useful for the studio or when on location, the Small Background Support Kit from Raya handles seamless paper rolls or fabric backgrounds and gives your work a polished look. The kit includes two support stands with a maximum height of 6'. The four-piece crossbar can be snapped together in two different lengths - 4.9' which is suitable for 53" seamless paper rolls or 9.8' which can support 10' wide muslin or fabric backgrounds. The weight capacity is 6.5 lb at the minimum width and 4.4 lb at the 9.8' width.
Two A-clamps are included in the kit to ensure that the seamless remains at your chosen length or to secure fabric backgrounds, while the provided carry bag makes taking the lightweight 4.8 lb kit on the road effortless. Optional sandbags, such as those made by Impact, are always recommended to stabilize your set up.

Benefits
Raya 60W LED Daylight Studio Bulb
Create a photo quality continuous light source anywhere with a standard E26 Edison socket with this 60W LED Daylight Studio Bulb from Raya. Able to produce daylight-balanced 5400K light, this bulb can find uses in a variety of applications, especially being multi-voltage and switching from 100-240 VAC for worldwide use. Equivalent to a 250W incandescent bulb, it delivers a brightness of 4200 lumens at 3.3'. Also, it has a CRI of 84 for creating accurate colors. LED technology allows the light to run cool, and this is further assisted by a built-in fan. Additionally, it has a frosted finish for a soft output, as well as a rated average lifetime of 30,000 hours.
Impact Umbrella - White Translucent (33")
Umbrellas soften, broaden, and diminish the light output of any flash light source. Umbrellas with a white interior will soften and weaken light more than an umbrella with a silver lining. A white umbrella without a black backing may also be used as a makeshift softbox, although the use of the light will not be as efficient as with a lightbox.
Choosing umbrella size is determined by the size of the subject, and the strength of the light supply being used. Choosing an umbrella surface is as subjective as choosing a paint and brush.
This Impact 33" White Translucent Umbrella is suggested for use in head-and-shoulders portraits for one or two persons.
Impact Light Stand, Black (6')
This 6' Impact Black Light Stand is one of the most economical light stands available. It has a 5/8" stud top with a 1/4"-20 thread.
