We have had many photographers ask us for a pro lighting kit with high output lights, a variable power setting housing, at an affordable price. After reviewing several models, our experts partnered with one of the worlds largest strobe manufacturers (they make strobes for all the name brands in the US) and asked them to make the SP160. Of course, we asked them to reduce the price, maintain their level of quality, and include a radio trigger.

This set-up is a brand new design. It has a variable flash output of 160 w/s with power controls which allow you to operate the light from 1/8 power all the way to full power. It is simple to adjust--you just turn the dial. This new 2 light kit gives you 320 w/s of power, is lightweight, portable, and simple to set up. With the softbox umbrellas attached on your main light you will be able to eliminate the harsh shadows and wrap the light around your subject to give you perfect pictures.

We didn't stop with the strobe . . .we wanted to offer a complete package including all of the necessary accessories. Thus, we have tossed in a barndoor, honey comb filter, gels, a radio trigger, and complete softboxes. This kit gives you all the power you will need to get perfect photos. These are 110 volt lights that plug into any household outlet. Dare to compare. . . .you will not find anything in this price range at this quality anywhere. This is a $699 value.

WHAT MAKES THE SQUARE PERFECT STUDIO FLASH KIT SO SPECIAL?

• PROFESSIONAL LIGHT: The light produced is absolutely delightful, and, in many ways, superior to other light. Since it is produced by a broader surface (the full face of the Softbox), it tends to wrap around the subject with a warm, friendly and pleasing glow (unlike the harsher light from a more pointed source). In addition, there are no hard edged shadows or hot spots like those often found with smaller point light sources. On top of all this, the SP160 Softbox helps add that desired inner radiance and illumination to the eyes.
• PORTABLILITY: The SP160 was designed with portability in mind. The lightweight design and engineering makes it easy to set up in minutes and then quickly fold down. The case it top notch quality.
• PRICE/INVESTMENT: With proper care, there is no reason why this kit won?t last a lifetime. Square Perfect's SP1000 Softbox is manufactured with the finest material available. Your light kit will provide many years of quality service with proper care and handling.
