Gary Fong Lightbulb Adapter Kit, with AC Power Plug (Lightbulb and Diffuser not included)
The Adapter Kit contains a Gary Fong Lightsphere Adapter, which secures to a Light Socket Adapter with AC power plug (this version), or Europlug. The kit is compatible with the new Lightsphere Collapsible Speed Mount (Generation 5) and the new SpeedSnoot and fits on any standard mount light stand. With the now mainstream acceptance of the hybrid still and video capable DSLR, amateur and professional shooters of all skill levels are increasingly turning to continuous lighting solutions. LED lightbulbs and incandescent lightbulbs are not only inexpensive, but when compared to flash (which can only be seen for a fraction of a second), continuous lighting provides real-time feedback on your subject. Select lightbulbs are also bright enough to allow for fast shutter speeds, eliminating the complexity of syncing when using auxiliary flashes. When paired with the famed Lightsphere Collapsible Speed Mount (Generation 5) Diffuser and a lightbulb, the Lightbulb Adapter Kit allows both photographers and videographers to deliver professional-style diffused lighting by softening shadows and producing more true-to-life skin tones. Alternatively, when the Lightbulb Adapter Kit is paired with the SpeedSnoot and a lightbulb, the result is a dramatic spotlight that is great for adding high-impact color to a background, highlighting a specific area on a subject or creating special effects, all of which are often seen in high-fashion style photography.
