How To Assemble the Daylite 4 60x80cm Rectangular Softbox
The DAYLiTE4 MKIII 4200W Twin Head kit with 100x200cm shooting table is a convenient and economical solution to get started in the world of product photography. Due to the design of the constant light, it allows you to easily attach and remove the modifiers, this means it can be used with softboxes, reflectors or even umbrellas giving you a lot of versatility with your lighting. With an impressive 4200W equivalent with the energy efficient CFL bulbs, you can use this light for shooting portraits, still life, product photography or even videos, interviews, commercial or Vlogs. With impressive power output and accurate consistent results, this is the ideal continuous kit for any photographer or videographer studio.
E27 Fitting: Each DAYLiTE4 MKIII unit features 4 lamp sockets which is compatible with a traditional E27 screw fitting and can be used with the included 8x 105W 5500K Daylight balanced Compact Fluorescent Light (CFL) bulbs. The CFL produces light equivalent in brightness to approximately 5x the power of conventional tungsten bulb, which means you can achieve an impressive 1700W equivalent each unit for a total of 3400W e.g. 105W CFL = 525W tungsten.
User Friendly: feature user-friendly controls which allow you to easily adjust the light output between half and full power via two switches on the back of the unit, that control the power going to the bulbs in sets of two.
Tiltable with Vertical and Horizontal Mount: fully tiltable and can be mounted vertically or horizontally onto any standard light stand with a 5/8" stud.
Energy Efficient: The energy efficient CFL bulbs also produce less heat, so they are not uncomfortable for the model and have a longer life span compared to traditional tungsten bulbs (up to 10,000 hours).
Daylight Balanced: As our CFL bulbs are daylight balanced at 5500K, this means they are great to use to replicate or alongside natural lighting. With a CRI (colour rendition index) of 90, the lights are sure to give you a natural colour reproduction for your images and videos. This means that you won’t see any light fluctuations or exposure inconsistencies in what you are shooting for accurate consistent lighting.
Highly Reflective Interior: which has a highly reflective interior to maximise light efficiency.
Unique Modifier Mount: features a unique modifier mount to attach the included 60x80cm softbox.
Soft Even Lighting: Due to its large surface area and rectangular shape, this Softbox produces soft even lighting, which wraps around your subject to create flattering results, ideal for portrait photography and large enough for full body shots and for photographing large objects.
Strong Durable Frame: The frame together with the plexiglass surface has a maximum load capacity of between 5-8kg (depending on how evenly distributed the weight is over the table’s surface area).
Reversable Plexiglass Surface: features one Matte side and one Glossy side, enabling you to choose between whether you would like to have reflections in your final images or not.
Angle Adjustable Back: can be angled anywhere between 90° (vertical) and 180° (completely flat). This enables you to use the back of the table as a background for smaller products, or to lay the table flat for larger products.
Universal Screw Spigot: traditional universal 5/8” spigot with 3/8” screw. This is the most popular fixture for lights or flashes which covers the vast majority currently available on the market.
3 Tier Extension: features 3 tier extension making it possible to be extended to a full length of 190cm (74”), which can then collapse right down to 66cm minimum height.
Compact and Portable: the perfect mounting tool for any travel or on location photographer using small to medium sized lighting.
The DAYLiTE4 MKIII Kit together with the 100x200cm shooting table is a perfect partnership for photographing medium to large sized products for websites such as eBay as well as for product catalogues. The twin head kit includes everything you will need in lighting, with powerful accurate daylight balanced lighting they are ideal for most shooting options from portraits, still life, product photography or even videos, interviews, commercial, Vlogs, or advertising.

Lux on the other hand is a measure of the apparent intensity of light falling on a surface at a given distance. Unlike Lumens where the amount of lumens remains constant regardless of distance from the light source, the amount of lux falling onto a surface will increase the closer you move it is to your light source, and will decrease the further you move it away from your light source.
To sum it all up, and Lux takes the area over which the luminous flux is spread at a given distance into consideration, and Lumens is a measure of the amount of light being emitted from light source regardless of its distance from a surface.

Perfect for Video and Stills
Bought this for video but have used for stills. Brilliant value. The stands are strong, heads are great, everything was much better built than i expected for the price. Great bag - though hard to fit the stands in once the softboxes are in their bags. Not a problem as I keep my stands separate in stand bags.

Great product, great service!
I purchased these lights as i wanted to upgrade from my Photosel soft boxes which had served me well for the past few years. I wasn't expecting much difference in quality but i was pleasantly surprised as the difference in quality is huge! Just about everything about them feels far, far superior and in addition they are also far, far sturdier. As an added bonus they also produce a much brighter light thanks to the 4 bulb setup compared to the single bulb used in the Photosel kit. When ordering, i didn't take much notice of the included bag so to find they come with a high quality bag that even has wheels for easy transportation just once again added to the feeling of money well spent.
If you are looking for an extremely good quality set of lights that won't break the bank then i can highly recommend this kit!
I feel i must also praise the customer service too...after setting up the lights i discovered that one of the bulbs had blown. I called customer services, explained my issue and straight away the lady told me that a new bulb would be sent out immediately and it arrived 2 days later. They didn't questioned me and they didn't even asked for the blown bulb to be returned for inspection! Quite often when there is an issue with a purchase the supplier will go out of their way to be as unhelpful as possible, so hats off to EssentialPhoto for their excellent customer service and i will be sure to use them again in the future!
Many thanks!
