The ePhoto VL9026S3 is a professional fluorescent video photography lighting kit that you can also consider to be a lighting kit. Each part of this continuous lighting kit will give you 1000 watts of output, which a grand total of 3000 watts. Now that is something, isn’t it? This lighting kit comes with three, very large softboxes which you can use for your lights. One of these lights can be used as the primary light and the remaining ones can be used simply as your fill light. The lighting output can be adjusted with 5 different light outputs. The ePhoto VL9026S3 has uses besides just video lighting, as it can also be used for studio photography and ideography along with projects that are scheduled to be done on-site. Out of all the lighting kits out in the market, I believe this is the most affordable.

ePhoto VL9026S3 Continuous Light Kit Reviews
First off, let us briefly talk about the quality of the lighting kit. The lights are not that strong and neither are they weak. The kit, especially if you consider the amount of money you are spending on the lighting kit, is pretty much above average. The output of the light will change according to how many lights you have switched on. The main problem was with the bulbs; they were marked at 5k but were really 4.2k.
One of the key problems was the lighting stands. They were the weak link. They are fine for studio work, especially if you are an amateur but if you continuously adjust the height of these stands, they will not last for too long.
There were two strong points of the game: the light boxes and then the carrying case. The case is very durable and you can also use it for other uses as well. For transporting purposes, you will have no problem with this bag. On top of that, the light boxes proved to be excellent. All in all, this lighting kit was great value for money.
