You have many options for soft lighting kits and supporting accessories in different styles, sizes, and unique features. We researched and reviewed the best softbox lighting kits for portraits, products, and more.

The compactness of the MountDog Softbox Lighting Kit doesn’t come at the expense of materials. The softbox’s light reflector features a reflective silver foil fabric with a white nylon screen that helps eliminate shadows and soften harsh light. When you’re on the go, you’ll appreciate the convenience of the kit’s one-piece opening for easy folding, storage, and transport.

The kit includes two 20×28-inch softboxes, two light stands, an adjustable lamp holder, two 95-watt energy-efficient fluorescent bulbs, and a storage case. The bulbs provide a 5500K color temperature and a lifespan of 8,000 hours, while providing a unique photographic environment. Standard E27 sockets allow you to replace the bulbs as needed. Neither socket controls the brightness, so you will need to adjust the level of diffusion by adjusting the front cover or moving the bulbs.

The lamp holder can be adjusted 210 degrees, which is well suited for taking photos from any angle. The light stands can be compressed to 27 inches or expanded to 80 inches. Just as the lamp holder and stands can meet different needs, this lightweight kit works well for taking portraits, glamour shots, products and more. But be careful to keep your light stands upright, as the equipment does not come with sandbags or weights.
