Asked by: Robert A.
No, the Impact Luxbanx Small Octagonal Softbox attaches to lights using a speedring. The Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture does not work with speedrings. There are two dedicated softboxes that work with it.Impact 50 x 70 cm Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures B&H # IMFFSB70 MFR # FF-SB70 and Impact 50 x 50 cm Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures B&H # IMFFSB50 MFR # FF-SB50.

I am living in India. can i use 230V power for this
Asked by: Nachiketh
The Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture, B&H # IMFFS4, is designed for use on 120 VAC 60 Hz voltage, and would not be compatible for use on 230 VAC voltage. The Impact FF-OF4 Octa 4-Socket Fluorescent Fixture, B&H # IMFFOF4, would be a fluorescent light fixture that would be compatible for use on 230 VAC voltage.

question

Are the lamps included?
Asked by: Schwarze M.
When I purchased, I looked at "In the Box" section and the lamps were not included. In fact "Not in the Box " section further clarified with "Lamps (Not Included)". So when I did not receive the lamps in the package I received, I wasn't disappointed. To answer the question, lamps are not included.

Does this fit Bowens mount softboxes?

Does this fit Bowens mount softboxes?
Asked by: Micah
Unfortunately, no, the Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture is not compatible for use with Bowens-mount softboxes. The Impact Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures (20 x 27.5"), B&H # IMFFSB70, would be the dedicated softbox compatible for use with the Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture. The Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture cannot use Bowens speed ring adapters.

question

Has anyone used LED bulbs as replacements for the ones included? My local hardware store has 5,000K LED bulbs and they even will use less power (13W) compared to the ones supplied (26W).Also, the description say the fixture is only rated for 200W total. But the box it comes in says 600W total or 150W per socket. Has anyone received the 600W fixture and used bigger bulbs?
Asked by: Mike
This is designed for a max load of 200W. All four lamps put together should consume no more than 200W. I currently use this with 4 x Philips 100-Watt Equivalent T2 Twister CFL Daylight Light Bulb (23 watt, 1600 Lumens, 6500K) and it works fine for my needs. Total cost for four bulbs was less than $10 at my local home improvement supplies store.

What is the actual max wattage? the listing says 50w/bulb for a total of 200w. but the product manual says 150w/bulb for a max of 600w. but the sets come with 32w bulbs. so what is actual max the light head can handle without, ya know, blowing up?
Asked by: Forrest
It is important to note that there is a difference between the actual draw and the equivalent outputs. This fixture can handle up to 4x 50w E26 lamps worth of actual draw.

Is the Impact FF-S4 light kit TOO LOUD for video? One reviewer says that it is "loud as heck" and not usable for video. Since I want it for video, I don't want it if it generates noise.
Asked by: Richard
The CFL lamps do not have fans and make no noise.
