ePhoto 2400W Three Softbox Lighting & Boom Hair Light Kit - Studio

In this review of the ePhoto 2400 Watt THREE Softbox Lighting & Boom Hair Light Kit H9004SB2 the bottom line is simple: this is an affordable studio lighting package best for hobbyists, content creators, and small studios that need bright, diffuse daylight-balanced illumination without a pro price tag. The kit delivers a total of 2400 watts using 12 daylight 45W bulbs at 5500K and includes the softboxes, stands and a boom hair light, so setup yields soft, even lighting ideal for portraits and green screen work.

Key Features

• 2400W total output: Twelve 45W 5500K bulbs combine to give consistently bright, daylight-balanced illumination for photo and video projects.
• Two main softboxes: The included 16in x 24in softboxes produce diffuse light that reduces harsh reflections on glossy surfaces and evens skin tones.
• Boom hair light: A dedicated boom stand and softbox for hair lighting allow separation of subject from background and finer control of highlights.
• Complete support gear: Two 6.5 ft tripods, a boom arm with sandbag and multiple light heads are included so the kit works out of the box on location or in a small studio.
• Simple controls: Each lamp is easy to turn on and off with basic switches, keeping operation straightforward for solo creators or small crews.

Who It's For

This kit is aimed at beginners, independent videographers, instructors running video art lessons, and photographers who need an inexpensive yet bright daylight-balanced lighting setup. It is especially useful for portrait sessions and green screen projects where even, soft illumination matters.

Those who need rugged, long-lasting pro-grade hardware or prefer compact LED panels with variable color temperature should look elsewhere, since the kit uses fluorescent-style bulbs and includes some lighter plastic parts that may not meet heavy daily studio abuse.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• High overall brightness and good color temperature for daylight shooting, which reviewers praised for avoiding harsh reflections.
• Complete package with softboxes, boom, stands and bulbs included makes it quick to deploy on location.
• Excellent value for money compared with more expensive professional kits.
• Simple on/off switches keep operation intuitive for newcomers.

Cons

• Build quality is mixed; some customers reported flimsy plastic fittings and parts that can break under rough handling.
• Power is 110V only, which limits use without a compatible supply in other regions.
