The EasyCLIQ Photography Studio Cube Umbrella Lighting Tent Kit DEU-3467 (Black/White) promises professional-quality photography results at a fraction of the cost. With its 135W bulbs, adjustable light stands, and convenient softboxes, it’s designed for ease of use and portability. But does it deliver on its promises? After weeks of testing in various settings, I’m ready to share my detailed review.

The DEU-3467 kit boasts several key features aimed at simplifying product photography. The two 135W bulbs provide ample illumination with a 5500K color temperature, ideal for achieving natural-looking images. The light stands are extendable up to 2 meters, offering flexibility in positioning the lights. The 3-in-1 design of the stands allows for mounting bulbs, umbrellas, or softboxes, providing versatility for different lighting setups. The softboxes themselves are foldable cube frames, making them incredibly easy to store and transport. The high-quality flash cloth minimizes light loss and maximizes light spread, resulting in softer, more even lighting that eliminates harsh shadows. The kit’s robust build and high temperature resistance ensures long-term reliability.

In practice, the DEU-3467 kit performed admirably. The 135W bulbs were impressively bright, easily illuminating even larger products. The color temperature was consistent and accurate, producing images that were true to life. The adjustable light stands and softboxes allowed for precise control over the lighting, enabling me to create a variety of lighting scenarios. The softbox fabric effectively diffused the light, minimizing harsh shadows and creating a professional-looking finish. Setup was remarkably straightforward, with the entire kit assembling in minutes. However, I did find that the softboxes are a little delicate and needs careful handling to avoid any damage to the frame.

I used this kit for photographing jewellery, small electronics, and even some food items. In every instance, the quality of lighting vastly improved compared to using a single, bare bulb. The soft light, lack of harsh shadows and even colour temperature were all significant improvements to my photography workflow. While the kit is compact and portable, its weight (786g) isn’t insignificant for prolonged carrying.

Pros

• Bright 135W Bulbs
• Adjustable Light Stands (up to 2m)
• Foldable Softboxes for Easy Storage
• High-Quality Flash Cloth for Even Lighting
• Easy Setup and Use

Cons

• Softboxes are relatively delicate.
• Weight might be a factor for extensive travel.

Overall, the EasyCLIQ Photography Studio Cube Umbrella Lighting Tent Kit DEU-3467 (Black/White) is a fantastic product for anyone looking to improve their product photography. Its ease of use, impressive lighting capabilities, and affordable price point make it an excellent choice for both beginners and experienced photographers. While the softboxes could be slightly more robust, the overall benefits far outweigh this minor drawback. I highly recommend the DEU-3467 to anyone seeking a simple yet effective lighting solution for their photography needs.
