Best wattage for softbox lighting.

Blindguytakingpictures wrote in post 16559777 after doing some research i am opting for a softbox setup over an umbrella setup. Review of the best continuous lights. Found the following 2 setups. Starting to get the picture.

It s all in the modifier. The purpose of lighting with softboxes is to soften the quality of light produced by the external flash. Soft light less shadows flattering portraits. As to whether you can conveniently get shots with 800 watts in a softbox.

It s high energy efficiny and reaches wattage up to 2500. Every modifier light position tilt turn or ambient light makes all the difference. If you re looking for the best softbox lighting kit you should choose this kit. That s a full 2 stops less with the strobe at exactly the same power.

The softbox has 110 inch umbrella built into it with 5070 nylon. 3 pcs 45w cfl bulb 3 pcs bulb socket 2 pcs 33 inch. I would like to buy a kit of continous light with cfl compact fluorescent light bulb for 1 video. The first is 1600 watts using florescent bulbs.

Obviously i would like to keep iso at 200. I think it has to be worked out by the lumens value of the light source and not the wattage as the wattage value is power used not brightness and this varies with type of light think energy saver bulbs all the best. The other strobe you put on a softbox and it measures f11. These kits generally include three softboxes.
