Q: 1. What 50 Watt CLF bulb can be used with this fixture? The Overview says it can handle 7 50 Watt CLF.

A: I have so far replaced one CFL bulb and found the matching 5000 Kelvin temp rating for it. Because of the heat output of the 7 lamps in the confined space of the light I would not exceed the total 350W rating of any combined bulbs, unless for brief periods, only - or in cold environments.

Q: 2. Is the P110-255BX model able to be controlled remotely? I do not see any DMX inputs into the fixture.

A: This particular version of the Videssence P110-255BX does not offer a DMX interface. There is a version that does offer this interface, however we do not carry it at this time. An alternative would be the Videssence Power CYC PC220-455BX Focusable Fluorescent Light Fixture (120 VAC, DMX Dimmable), BH # VIPC220DMX which has 4 lamps and the DMX interface. https://bhpho.to/3zo9prX

Q: 5. Can I use these in Europe?

Q: 6. will this fixture accept other soft boxes or just the included one?

A: I believe only the included one. It takes a while to set up. Each of the spokes that tent the softbox are inserted through little sleeves down the length of the softbox and then into a hole or cavity in the face of the light fixture. Once fully assembled it's there to stay. This softbox does not collapse like most others. So it continually takes up a great deal of space. It took me several minutes to set it up and I imagine it would take the same to take it down. I bought this as a starter light for my 14 y/o daughter who is just getting into portrait photography. It's great for her and would be a great inexpensive fixture to have laying around a studio. Just know that it will take up some space. I think the photo above showing the softbox off of the light is misleading. I don't think that's possible. as the fixture itself is what gives it it's rigidity.

Q: 7. Can this be used as continuous lighting for videography purposes?

A: From a customer stand point, I have enjoyed using the Octa Fluorescent 7- socket 2 light softbox kit due to the features of using the full spectrum of lighting or cutting back half depending on my level of light needed for photography sessions. There was no change in lighting temperature during usage and it gives a nice overall lighting even if used for videography.

Q: 8. How long does the battery last? Also, do diffusion panels come with the lights?

A: The integrated lithium-ion battery can last for up to two hours and diffusion is included with the light.

Q: 9. Are these adequate for lighting a white muslin backdrop?
