The little light that could

I just received two of these lights and I couldn’t be happier. After 5 days outside in the ice and rain with Weather Channel, I discovered that this powerful light was perfect for any outdoor situation. The battery kept going for an entire shift at any level of output and the range of output provided the perfect balance for sunshine or nighttime. I would definitely recommend this light.

Did your Design team bother to test it before marketing

Design team bother to test it before marketing yeah my battery didn’t last long either I’d rather use one of them one light that you tilt the thing that rubs against the tire to convert your tire revolutions into energy with a bulb light at least I know I won’t be in the dark with that you guys charge a lot for this light but you guys didn’t put no expense into the damn battery would you guys take defective batteries and put them in there to save money you guys are turning into real crooks

Useless

Their rep at Imaging USA said this would allow it to be used "with any softbox." I tried connecting it to just the ring for a Magmod MagBox. Forget it - if I move it even slightly, the quick release pin comes undone, so I doubt it would hold even a lightweight softbox. What a disappointment! I find it illogical that a product would be made to put out 9,000 lumens but unable to accommodate widely used softboxes.

I saw someone below said, "while it's not necessarily meant to take large modifiers . . . " - WHY NOT?

I also read: "Light and Motion suggested I set up the softbox only on a light stand using the Bowens mount adapter then set up my Clx10 or Stella Pro Reflex S on another stand and shoot through to the softbox." REALLY?! I think it is safe to say you have poor product design if you have to advise your customers to MacGuyver a solution!

Maybe the solution is to wait and let Godox make a knockoff of the Reflex, then buy that.

Excellent product

How many flashes out there can shoot at 20 fps at full power with no recycle time? And with high shutter speeds! I know of two brands and own them both. This flash has a superior build quality and consistent light quality in a small package. It is a medium power strobe so no you are not going to be matching the exposure of the sun on a bright day at high noon. If that is your primary purpose keep moving. However you can use it for Fill light at that time. If you shoot in the mid mornings and early evening this will work for you and indoors of course. The price is premium. When they are on sale the price seems fair. The ability to just use s USB power supply to run it is crazy amazing. I now own 5 of their lights so I guess I like them. Customer service is great. I am excited to see what innovations come next.

Mixed Feelings

I've tried using this Bowens Mount adapter with my Glow EZ Lock Strip boxes (12x56) along with the Stella Pro Reflex S light and it would not hold the position of the light. I had to really tighten the thumb screw as tight as I could get it and my light still dropped down. Today, I tried using my 28" Glow EZ Lock Deep Parabolic softbox with this same Bowens mount adapter and it wouldn't even stay locked in place. It came coming off. I then tried my Aputure Lite Dome Mini II which is small softbox and it worked great! It did not easily come off and was locked in place. I've been trying to ask other photographers how they are using their Stella lights in Softboxes because I am not having much luck. Light and Motion suggested I set up the softbox only on a light stand using the Bowens mount adapter then set up my Clx10 or Stella Pro Reflex S on another stand and shoot through to the softbox. Just be forewarned that depending on the size of your softbox you want to use, it will most likely not hold its position and drop down or might not stay mounted and will easily detach itself from the softbox and nobody wants that to happen in the middle of a shoot. I asked L & M about their High Leverage Handle that they sell and they seem to think it would not have made a difference.
