Excellemt Quality Light
I have only recently started to equip my home studio. I already have some much cheaper Chinese strobe flash lights (about £40 to £50 each) which, although they work satisfactorily, are nowhere near the build quality and versatility of this Pixapro Lumi light. It is strongly built in metal rather than plastic so that I am happy to hang a soft box onto it, which with cheaper plastic lights would not be a good idea. It has a strong and well made clamp to adjust the angle of the light, which doesn't slip when a soft box is added. It is heavier than a plastic light but is nicely balanced with no toppling risk until light modifiers are fitted, but this is not a problem with a decent quality stand ballasted with sand bag or weights and well spread legs.
It has an internal cooling fan and independently controllable model, strobe light and beep function. It can work as a master or slave light. If you have a radio transmitter with built in control functions fitted to your camera hot shoe then light brightness settings (model and strobe} are adjustable from the camera. There is a USB socket to plug an all singing/dancing wireless receiver into for full remote control, as well as the usual 3.5mm sync socket for sync cable or simple basic triggering receiver. A nice touch is the provision of a hole in the reflector to enable an umbrella to be fitted with the reflector attached.
I didn't mind paying more to get so much more quality and versatility. It's too early to be able to comment on how well it will last with regular and hard use but am optimistic in view of its build quality. The instruction manual is well written too, without the usual poor English often found with so many other products.

Lights, Camera, Awesome!,
Value for money here is paramount! - these strobes are awesome - Great power range, modelling lamp and solid reliable build. So good in fact i bought a second one. My goto gear people. Keep it up Pixapro!
Very impressive kit!
I bought this kit at the photography show after being able to try it out. I am seriously impressed with the quality of everything. The carrying case has wheels and is a bonus. Everything fits in the case including the stands and softboxes. Light heads have metal casing.Took everything out of the case, put together, plugged in triggers and transmitter and it worked perfectly first time. Very little delay between shots. I hardly noticed any to be honest. Not the lightest weight kit and I wouldn't recommend it if you aim to use public transport. .. but if it's in the car and off it's perfect. The softboxes are great quality and quite large at 60 x 90 cm. Not the easiest things to put up but it gets easier once you've done it a couple of times. I may get easy assemble softboxes in the future if I travel with it much. This kit has a 2 year warranty as well. Personally I'm delighted.
Bargain and top marks
I bought a set to suplliment my exsiting studio lights, I find I use them more as they are more user friendly, and better built
Highly recommended
Good value basic strobe producing nice quality light.
