NEEWER 24-inch Softbox Kit 2-Pack review

A two-light continuous kit with 24-inch softboxes, 35 W LED bulbs and 83-inch stands, for about $120 and 3,370 ratings. The “700W” is an incandescent equivalent.

A continuous kit

Two softboxes with LED bulbs give constant light. A softbox makes a small light source larger, and a larger source gives softer shadows. Every diffuser also costs some light.

Wattage explained

The 700W figure is an incandescent equivalent.

Tall stands

83-inch stands lift the boxes above head height.

Bulbs

Standard E26, so warmer or brighter bulbs can replace them.

Two-light basics

Place the two boxes at about 45° on either side of the subject. Move one further away to make it dimmer, which adds shape. The tall 83 in stands let you raise the light above head height for a natural look.

Upgrading the bulbs

The E26 sockets take standard bulbs. A dimmable or color-adjustable bulb can replace the fixed 5700 K bulbs later.

What people ask before they commit

Is it really 700 W?

No. Each bulb draws 35 W; NEEWER says the pair equals 700 W of incandescent bulbs.

Can I use other bulbs?

Yes. The E26 sockets take standard bulbs.

Is it good for video?

Continuous light shows what you get, which suits video.
