Overall the Monte Window Light Kit is a well put together kit, built to withstand the abuse of an active videographer. The versatility of being able to go from 27-watt, 5500K fluorescent bulbs to 150-watt, 3800K tungsten halogen bulbs in a matter of minutes is invaluable to any videographer working in varying light situations. The soft box and light stand in this kit are equal in terms of durability and quality. The price tag isn't as high as I'd expect from such a versatile and sturdy light; however, it still may be a bit high for those just getting into video production.
