Question about Tungsten and Fluorescent fixtures plus shipping from china.

[Jimmy Moss]

I'm thinking of picking up a couple of these:

I was wondering if anyone knew if there were import taxes or anything on stuff from china here in the US?

Also, If a fluorescent bulb has a cri or 90 or more do you need any minus green to balance them with standard 3200k tungsten Fresnel's?

Thanks in advance!!!

I would just order from Cool Light.

In my experience, adding CTO to the 5600K Cool Light bulb definitely results in a green cast. But you can always just order the 3200K version.

No import taxes or anything. They ship direct via U.S. Mail. in about 2 weeks. I bought a 2-bank model from them a while ago. Great fixture. No issues with green spikes whatsoever.
They used to have a 2-bank Flo that has mounts for both horizontal and vertical orientation. Haven't seen that model listed lately. Regardless, you will not be disappointed with Steven Studio products. Great bang for the buck. BTW--if you want to pay more money for the exact same products, you can find them at Prompter People.

Awsome thanks.

The Cool lights actually look a little better but most of them are out of stock until July. Bummer.

We've still got all the portable units in stock and a couple of the studio 255 models also. You can check with me at info@coollights.biz if you like.
