The umbrellas can be used in traditional bounce mode or in shoot-through mode for snappier contrast. They're supported by 6' light stands, and it all fits in the padded carry case.

Q: 4. Can this kit be used with fluorescent lights?

A: I am not really sure whether they can or not. Even though I have used this equipment in my studio which is lit by fluorescent lights at night, I think I have only used the lamps you provided with the equipment, with the fluorescents off.The problem with fluorescence is that if the person is photographing paintings or drawings or photographs the whites can appear red or blue depending on the exposure/background/etc. So, I would use the photo bulbs and try them with both the lights on and off and see whether the whites are truly white or some other color.Usually, you cannot photograph well under fluorescent light.
