Foto Bestway studio flash

[Smokeyr67]

Hi guys,

I was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with Foto Bestway studio lights? I'm considering getting this FOTOBESTWAY MERCURY 500 STUDIO 2 HEAD LIGHT KIT kit, but I don't know the brand. I haven't been able to find a review (it could be my google fu failing me) so your input would be fantastic.

Not familiar with the name, but based on appearance, they look like one of the reasonably common, inexpensiveoff-shore brands. They should work well enough for light-duty home use, but I wouldn't expect them to work hard all day every day. Replacement flash tubes might be an issue if you do blow one.

They do not have a lot of information available there on the web site, but I'd generally echo Tirediron's sentiments above...they look like Chinese-made monolights, and the price seems reasonable for two of them with the accessories provided.
