You would just have to look into this Product youself,
I could go on and sound like a Ad for Photogenic,LOL. Weaknesses: Some would say the Price.
But after working with : Britek's and Calumet/Bowens as well, The price you pay to have a Light head you will most likely have for 30 years( thats right some of us have used the same photogenic lights for 30 years)
Well, You do the Math ! and Compare. Similar Products Used: I teach and so in doing so have had the Oppertunity to own several kinds of lights
Britek's and Calumet/Bowens as well as the Photogenic. Customer Service: The Customer Service at Photogenic Must be commended as well!!!
As I did my resurch on exactly witch Light Heads I would Purchase, They were wonderful! I did not leave messages with a mashine, or fill out a email and wait.
I called the Photogenic Company and Spoke to a HUMAN!!
Who took the time to go over My Options, Never once did I hear" ok are we done...Please hold.... you can find that info here....."before I was done.
Nope they took the time with no rush at all and answered every question and then asked " Now , is there anything else I can help you with today?
If you need anything else, before you purchase, just call me back, my name is..."
sorry, It sounds like a commercial but it is ALL TRUE!
Great Product and Great Customer Service *****as well.
