LUMI400 vs Interfit Honey Badger
In this blog, we compare two lights in the market, the PIXAPRO LUMI400 and the Interfit Honey Badger, to see which light would be best for you.
The Lumi II 400 Clamshell Lighting Kit has been Designed with the Commercial, Beauty and Portrait Photography industries in mind, with the simple one light set up this kit offers the ability to produce a soft, glowing light that flatters the subject to create quality headshot finishes. The traditional one-light Clam-shell is achieved by placing the Lumi II 400W flash unit with in-built receiver and fast recycling times, above your subject using the included Sturdy and Durable 2 in 1 Boom stand to hold the light out of the way of your frame. Using the 120 Recessed Softbox attached to the light will help to give an even soft light over the subject and thanks to the 5 in 1 collapsible reflector you are able to bounce the light upwards underneath the chin of your subject to provide a subtle fill light and reduce contrast. This is the go-to lighting set up for many photographers including commercial headshot as well as beauty and portrait photographers.

Amazon Review
Having been a studio based owner photographer now retired I just do Passport and ID photos from home based studio. My last Elinchrom died I need a replacement Asap, I picked the Pixapro 400 arrived in 2-3 days after a couple of quick tests I am really pleased with the results of the finished prints and the quality and power of the Flash Head, easy to use quick to change settings with good visual display consistent outputs. It seems well made and comes with everything you need for an instant start.

Brilliant product - just as it should be.
I already have two 200Ws Pixapro Lumi studio Flash heads which I am very happy with, but decided to get the more powerful 400Ws version as my main light so that there is plenty of power when using soft boxes with diffusers and other light modifiers. I decided to use this same UK based seller again because of their fast delivery service, UK backup and warranty and so I could be certain that it would be designed for UK voltage and fitted with UK 3 pin plug and power cable.
This light has all the features that I consider to be important: Flash brightness as claimed and verified using my light meter, wireless USB port for optional wireless control , 6 stop range, internal cooling fan, auto power dump, reflector supplied, glass dome lamp protector supplied, auto memory, LED power display.
I already have a wireless transmitter and spare receiver for use with this light and everything works as it should do. I like being able to switch off modelling lights remotely rather than using the manual switch on the back of the head to avoid shaking a hot modelling bulb and reducing its life span.
So everything is up and go for my next shoot in two days time
