Up for sale is a location lighting kit that has served me well for the past few years. The lights were bought new, and have travelled many miles with me.
Everything is well used, but well loved! There are paint rubs along the edges of the light fixtures, but overall I'd rate them at 80% cosmetic condition. Edges of the barndoor leafs are slightly dented and show signs of paint rubs as well.
The fragile parts are all in great shape - no rips in any of the softbox fabric or eggshell grid fabric, all seams are 100% intact, the softbox spokes aren't warped or bent, the diffusion screens are 100% (two that I have never used are as-new) stain and burn free, the speedring is not dented and turns freely on the 300w fixture, etc. All of the glass fresnel lenses and bulbs in the fixtures are 100% intact. The lights are focusable, and the focus gearing moves smoothly on all 3 fixtures.
The wiring inside the lamps is in great shape with no signs of insulation stripping, chafing, or shorting. The switches are 100% functional and the blades on the plugs are not bent.

Looking to get $1800 or *REASONABLE* best offer (CASH) for the kit. Not interested in trades, and not going to split up the equipment at this time.
Why am I selling off this gear? While this was a perfect solution for carting to and from locations locally in my car or by taxi, most of my current work involves air travel. I'm switching to a more compact, lighter LED kit.
Local cash & carry pickup in Bushwick, Brooklyn, or I'll deliver to Brooklyn, Queens, and Long Island (within 15 miles) for an extra $25 - Manhattan for an extra $40. Definitely not interested in shipping as the gear is oversized, heavy, and some of it fragile.
