DAYFLO Lights & Green Screen Setup

[BollingerPro]

Hey Guys,

Do any of you have experience with the DayFlo brand of lights, particularly the fluorescent fixtures.

I am currently looking at getting a green screen setup configured and I want to get quality lights that cost less than KinoFlos.
Here is the DayFlow kit I am looking at:

Thanks for your input!

While I have no experience with these lights, the housings look exactly like the same Chinese made lights which many places sell.
If it were me, I would put my own kit together from a less expensive vendor and save some scratch over the price of this kit.

Also don't be misled by the claimed 7500 Watts of the kit you listed, as total wattage is really 1650 watts.

All the Best!

Dave

Thanks Dave!

Do you know of any other cheaper brands?

Darren,


Those lights look really nice... wireless dimming and everything!

Check out Coolights.

I have been waiting for months for coollights to get their lights in stock. They'll sell you direct from China but you wind up paying a couple of hundred extra to get them. Last I heard they were going to be coming in in July. I rented Divas for my last shoot, and will wait for them. I heard that they're really good.

+1 for Coolights. I've been using them for over a year - never let me down. I've got their 3200 tubes, and have added Kino Flo daylight tubes.
