LimoStudio 160W Photo Monolight Flash Strobe Studio Photography Light Lighting, Flash Strobe Light, Quality Circular Flash Tube Bulb, Quality Model Light Bulb, AGG1756

Pros: I ordered this item saturday afternoon and it was delivered before 5pm the next day. That was like the "jimmy john" fast. Item was very well packaged. the item comes with a strobe light, power cord, wire sync cable, one bulb, and two extra fuses.IT WORKS well with the sync cable. I used this strobe light with canon 7d mkii. It works and it is bright enough even with a setting of 1/250, F8, and ISO of 200.Con: I only have one. When I opened the package, I noticed a strong smell of burnt wires. It scared me at first because I thought the package was already burnt even before I even get to use it. It turns out my fear was for nothing. The strobe light works fine. I haven't had any problem so far.

I purchased this light when I started back into photography. I used to use the Alien Bee 400 and loved that light. But I didn't want to spend that much money on a light I would only use once a month. This light is great. It does the trick and gets the job done well. It is PLENTY bright even on the lowest setting. It is lightweight. Easy to take with you. My only real complaint is that there is no cover for the light bulb when you are transporting it and I am always afraid i am going to break the bulbs. Other than that, it is a great inexpensive light!

I purchased a 2 pack of these 5 years ago and they were amazing! I have a tiny studio (less than 300 square feet), so I actually needed smaller, cheaper strobes that were not super bright. They were perfect for me; the flash was not too bright for my space, they worked well with wired triggers, and they were very reliable. Just turn them on, switch on the trigger, and go! So easy! However, I wore them both out in the 5 years I've had them so I was excited to see they were still available.This particular model has been changed over the last 5 years, but they looked mostly the same. The first one I ordered didn't work at all. No biggie. Sent it back and requested a replacement. Replacement arrived and it was working. Yay! I fired off a few test shots and everything looked great. Yay! Decided to fire off a few more and the flash failed each time. Boo! One defective unit was bad enough, but getting two just caused me to lose all confidence in the brand.So I sent back the replacement and upgraded to a more well known model. It really is a shame because I have gotten so use to the consistency of my lighting setup for the past 5 years and now I have to get used to a whole new setup.

I love it, it works for me very good

Nice and small and has a decent punch. However, the 1/2 stop variance on the lower settings is a bit much for me.Recycle time at full power was more like 2 seconds (rather than the 1.5 seconds rated by the merchant).Full power gives f5.6 and 0.7 stop at ten feet at 100 iso, but the beam angle is wider than most speedlights.The lack of a full recharge/recycle beep is disappointing.In addition, the red light on top indicates that the flash is fully recycled -- not the green light. Perhaps the colored lenses can be changed on the indicator lights, but I returned the strobe, before that possibility occurred to me.This strobe would be a decent value at around $35-$40.

The best Budget flash out there!It comes with its own sync cable which is great, however it doesn't have a continious light mode but it has a model light switch that does nothing

Fast shipping, used these lights for almost 3 hours of back to back photography, totaling almost 200 plus back to back pops of light in a 3 hour period. The lights only misfired twice which could’ve been due to them being near the dance floor which had other strobe lights that could’ve caused a misfire. They get a bit hot but no burns. I’d recommend not installing the modeling lamp that comes with it as this is what people have said caused problems for them in the other reviews I read before purchasing. I’d buy these and other stuff from this brand again.

Not the top of the line but for the money why not. I use an umbrella and works without issue. The modeling light is on or off so no dim function. I keep it off due to heat. I have Alienbees and these are easier and lighter plus if they break, cheap to replace. Not the best build material but for the money, I am a fan.
