The Final Studio light test

I just got back from a get-away-trip to Sweden, which is partially the reason why I haven't done my weekly posts. The other reason is actually a bunch of jobs which has made my days quite busy, I'm not complaining though.

As mentioned in this earlier post, I thought about investing in new studio equipment, and now, some weeks later, it's done, it's tested and it's being used and enjoyed to its fullest.

I briefed the guys behind miteos.dk about the upcoming purchase, and they requested I did a review of the products for their site, but in Danish. So I tore out a day in the calender, set up the equipment, brought in my test model and began shooting and testing. The final test can be seen HERE at the miteos.dk site (You have to be a registered user to view the articles - and rest assured, there are some very excellent at the site.

After having bought, tested and posted the review of the gear, the owner of Flashogfotobutikken.dk contacted me explaining some of issues I had during the testing as well as providing me with some extra information (and now he's actually using some of my test images in the product descriptions - ain't that funny)

Among other things, I had problems mounting the umbrellas on the Triopo lamp, and ending up giving up. I was afterwards told that I had to loosen a screw that I had missed in order to mount them (well don't I feel stupid now).

But also, both lamps actually have 900w components inside which means that you have them running at full power (600w) all day without worrying about a them burning out - plus, they won't get hot either, so he's actually providing a full 2-year garantee on these lamps whereas other dealers only offer 6-12 months on theirs.
