Electronic sales documents
Do you want your shots to be mesmerizing with their richness of colors and details? Are you aware that properly chosen lighting enhances the quality of photos? The Vidoo™ studio lights bring colors to life, increase sharpness, and add depth to your images. They are ideal for those who need professional-looking photos for auctions or online stores. Excellent for portraits, beauty shots, fashion, and glamour photography. Using lights from the Vidoo™ series significantly reduces the time spent on post-processing.
Lively Colors
More light means lower ISO sensitivity, resulting in better color saturation.Sharp Image
With more light, you get shorter exposure time, less blurring, and thus a sharper image.Richness of Backgrounds
More light provides better illumination for distant backgrounds - the image becomes more three-dimensional.Softboxes are a fundamental element of a photographic studio. They are used to modify the properties of light: the size of the luminous surface, intensity, and direction. Recently, they have gained popularity in video productions as well. An excellent alternative to kinoflo-type lights. Softboxes soften tonal transitions between light and shadow.
Tip: Most lighting issues within a frame often result from an excess of light rather than its absence. When setting up your lighting, start with the lamps that have the least impact on the entire scene - set up the key (main) light last.
Lighting Fixture
The lighting fixture consists of a quadruple E27 bulb holder and a softbox hood (reflective fabric, diffusive fabric, and tensioning rods). The shape of the hood is designed to direct the maximum amount of light onto the diffusive fabric.
The softbox is made from high-quality materials used by leading manufacturers. Its interior is finished with a silver, metallized reflective surface that prevents light emission backward or sideways and reflects it in the desired direction - towards the diffusive fabric. This ensures that the maximum amount of light reaches the object being photographed. The exterior of the softbox is matte black, preventing reflection of light from other lamps.
The softbox is designed to work with four bulbs of a maximum power of 85W/400W each. It allows for stepped power adjustment by turning on/off pairs of bulbs (two switches): 0%-50%-100%. The set attaches to lighting stands using a bracket that provides an adjustable angle.
Lighting Fixture Rear Panel
Controlling the lamp is straightforward and limited to two switches that turn on either the left or right pair of lamps. A 3A fuse is located in the "FUSE" socket. In the central part, there's an opening for mounting an optional umbrella.
CGLS-815 Studio Stand
A three-section studio/outdoor lighting stand. Maximum height of 290cm, working height of 280cm, convenient section clamps, a 16mm studio head with a universal 1/4" thread. The stand is designed to work with small and medium lights as well as lighting sets. It also works excellently with flashlights and continuous light sources, softboxes, and halogen lamps.
Its dimensions when folded have been reduced by using a telescopic folding mechanism, thus not limiting the wide range of applications (ranging from 95 to 280 cm, adjustable to any height) and versatility. The leg spread (from foot to foot) is 95cm.
Photo Bulb (85W/5500K)
This fluorescent bulb generates light with a color ideal for photographic applications - it does not introduce any color bias. Thanks to its natural color rendering, the bulb is perfect for photographers working under continuous lighting conditions. Using constant lighting allows you to model light faster and better predict the final result on your photos. The low power consumption enables using this bulb in both open fixtures and partially closed ones (softboxes, diffusers, octas). The luminous power of an 85W bulb is equivalent to a 400W halogen bulb.
Can I use a softbox for filming?
Absolutely. Recently, we've been observing an increasing trend of photographic applications being used in the world of film. The SOFTBOX 60x90cm light fixture is an excellent alternative to budget panel lamp versions (so-called kinoflo). This solution is significantly more cost-effective while achieving the same results.
What's the difference between an octagonal and rectangular softbox?
The most noticeable difference is in the shape of reflections on reflective surfaces. This is particularly evident in portrait and fashion photography - the octagonal shape, similar to a circle, mimics solar reflections. Octagonal softboxes also have a better light distribution (especially when lighting from the front).
What should you keep in mind?
- Softboxes work best at short distances. Place them as close to the illuminated persons or objects, right on the edge of the frame.
- The larger the softbox diameter, the softer the tonal transition between light and shadow.
- If you need to illuminate from a large distance - remove the diffusive fabric. This will give you even more light.

How to assemble the SOFTBOX / OCTA lamp?
The lamp will arrive in a package containing: separately, the tripod, bulbs, fixture, and softbox. Assembling the lamp involves several steps:
- Remove the softbox from its cover, the tensioning rods for the softbox, and the diffusive fabric. Set aside the diffusive fabric.
- From the box marked CGLX4, remove the lighting fixture. On the outer edge of the fixture (black material), there are eight holes.
- Insert the glass fiber rods into the openings in the lighting fixture. It's important to insert the rods with their THICKER end into the fixture. They should go in with a slight resistance.
- Lay the softbox fabric (hood) on the floor so that the black material touches the floor, and the silver side faces upward. Leave the Velcro straps unfastened.
- Place the lighting fixture onto the silver surface. Insert the thinner ends of the rods into the pockets sewn into the corners of the softbox hood.
- As you insert more rods, the softbox hood will start to stretch over the bending rods. It may be necessary to use a small amount of force, especially with octagonal softboxes.
- After assembling the hood, spread out the lighting stand and attach the fixture to it. Tighten the butterfly screws and fasten the Velcro straps at the back of the hood.
- Secure the bulbs in the fixture.
- Attach the diffusive fabric by fastening it with the Velcro straps onto the hood.
