PETG, a glycol-modified version of polyethylene terephthalate (PET), is commonly used to manufacture water bottles. It is a semi-rigid material with good impact resistance, but it has a slightly softer surface that makes it prone to wear. Its thermal characteristics allow the plastic to cool efficiently with almost negligible warpage.

Q: 1. Are these dimmable lights?

A: Sort of 2 switches on the head allow you to have 2 or 4 bulbs on at a time. Other than that, you can just control the light by placement or different modifiers.

Q: 2. Can you attach larger soft boxes to the light head. Like a 36 octogan.

A: Unfortunately, no, you cannot. The only softboxes compatible with the Impact 4 Socket Fluorescent Fixture included with the kit would be either the Impact 50 x 70 cm Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures, B&H # IMFFSB70, or the smaller Impact 50 x 50 cm Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures, B&H # IMFFSB50, while the only option compatible for use with the Impact FF-OF4 Octa 4-Socket Fluorescent Fixture is the included Impact FF-OSB60 Octa Softbox (24 ), B&H # IMFFOSB60. Due to the design, it is not compatible for use with standard universal softboxes. The built-in speedring only allows use with the softboxes designed specifically for these fluorescent units.

Q: 3. I received this kit today in Australia. When I switch on the light, it was short-circuit. As I know, the voltage in Australia is 240V which is match with the voltage of this light. Can you tell me why this happened? How can I fix this problem?

A: While the Impact Soft n' Natural Kit #4 is compatible for use with 100-240 VAC, 50/60 Hz, as we are located in the United States, the 12 x Eiko - SP27/50K Spiral Fluorescent Lamp (26W/120V) listed as included under the In The Box tab on our website are designed for use on 120V circuitry. When purchasing lighting equipment for use internationally, you have to ensure that both the fixture and the bulbs are compatible for use on the voltage used in your country. While we do not have a specific Impact Soft n' Natural Kit #4 that includes 220-240V bulbs, you may either purchase the Lowel 25 Watt Ego Fluorescent Bulb (220-240V AC), B&H # LOLE127E (which are the only 220-240V spiral fluorescent bulbs of this wattage which we carry), or you may look for similar options locally in your country.

Q: 4. What is the shipping size and weight of this kit?

A: The kit is approximately 14 lbs total. The size of the actually shipping box varies according to what the warehouse has at the time and what they feel is best to protect the items.The light stands are the longest part of the kit and the stands when closed are about 27 inches long. So the box will be at least that long.

Q: 5. What is the lux?

A: Unit of luminous

Q: 6. is it safe for home environment and is it safe to breathe?

A: The metal filled filaments are just as safe to use as standard PLA filaments.

Q: 7. Can the 4-socket rectangular softbox fixture take 47w bulbs?

A: The manual states: ...uses Edison-base compact fluorescent lamps (CFL) up to 105W per socket. I have yet to try this much wattage draw, but it certainly states that your desire to use 47W bulbs should be within specs. Lynn Brown

Q: 8. Do the boxes in this kit have a 2nd internal diffusers/baffles?

A: No. While the Impact 50 x 70 cm Softbox for Fluorescent Fixtures, B&H # IMFFSB70, and the Impact FF-OSB60 Octa Softbox (24 ), B&H # IMFFOSB60, included in the Impact Soft n' Natural Kit #3 both have a removable front diffuser, neither softbox has an internal diffuser due to the design of the softbox and light fixture (due to the size/length of the bulbs, the shallow depth of the softbox, and the fact the bulbs are inside the softbox, an internal baffle would be pressed directly against the bulbs and would be inefficient for usage).

Q: 9. What height would the 6 stand be at its lowest possible height?

A: Around 32 to the top of the light, but the soft box adds around 8 when situated horizontally. Vertically, or using the octagonal soft box on it would add more.

Q: 10. Do the fluorescent bulbs that come with this set have a color cast?

A: They give off a color temp of about 5000k. It looks pretty natural on camera. Personally in post I may warm up skin tones a touch if its my only source of light, otherwise I do not worry about it in video too much.
