Westcott Skylux LED 1-Light XL Kit with Rapid Box 36″

The Skylux LED 1-Light XL Kit with Rapid Box 36″ from Westcott represents an excellent option for photographers seeking a robust, digital-compatible lighting solution that offers a soft, enveloping quality of illumination. This comprehensive kit comprises the Skylux LED Light equipped with an umbrella reflector, a 10-foot heavy-duty light stand, a ballast housed in a protective case, a power cord, a 36″ Rapid Box Octa XL, and a kit case. The SkyLux LED produces an output equivalent to 1,200 watts of tungsten at a color temperature of 5,500K, boasting a high Color Rendering Index (CRI) of 94. Westcott has designed the all-metal SkyLux to be lightweight by detaching the flicker-free ballast from the light head, thus providing various placement possibilities. The dimming control ranges from 30% to 100%, eliminating the need for frequent adjustments or the use of scrims and ND filters. Additionally, the light is accompanied by a silver parabolic reflector featuring an umbrella slot.

The 36″ Rapid Box Octa XL included in the kit is particularly well-suited for group photography, portraiture, fashion shoots, or any application that benefits from its distinctive wrap-around light quality, whether in a studio setting or on location. This softbox is constructed with a durable aluminum alloy frame and includes removable interior and front diffusion panels. True to its name, the Rapid Box is designed for efficiency, featuring a built-in speed ring and a compact, shallow profile. A carrying case with a shoulder strap is also provided for convenient storage and transport.
