New reviews coming soon!
Here at Lighting Rumours we do our best and beyond to provide you with fresh and new content from the lighting gear world , so we are proud to announce that in the near future there will be more gear reviews; we have been contacting lighting gear manufacturers and the response we had from them so far has been great.
The upcoming reviews are going to have a stronger focus in real world usage, this means while we won’t be focusing on shooting and posting photos of walls, or if the gear will be good enough to light a cat. Instead we will give you our impressions on how their features and performance behave in real world assignments and what we think it is great and not so great based on our experience with lighting gear.
The first review will be the Walimex PBS-400 (as we speak I am testing it), Hensel Europe agreed to send us a Porty Lithium 12 and Godox will let us test a lot of different gear too. The PocketWizard ControlTL system for Nikon is currently being evaluated, as well as the Aputure Trigmaster Plus 2.4GHz wireless trigger. We would like to know what do you think and any suggestions too, please let us know via the comment section below!

Hi, am really happy to hear it, and a hope you do more review like that in the “field”.
I’m very interest in on location shoot, and option for it, since the most part of the flash option stay in the US mainly and never reach Europe (Portugal here)
Could you post problem one perhaps find getting accessories for the product reviewed?
The Strobeam Location Lighting Range is available in Europe from Viewfinder Photography. 200w, 400w and a dual powered 500w light.
Use the 500w (EID500) myself for location work.
@Andre Goosen: We will see if we can review the Westcott 7 foot umbrella soon.
@Edgar Moreira: Thank you Edgar!
There are some options in Europe like the Wallimex PBS-400, Jinbei Freelander 500, Jinbei RD400, RD600 and RD1200, Elinchrom Quadra and Ranger RX, Hensel Porty Lithium 6 and 12, Godox EX 400 and 600, PCB products etc. And there are products coming soon like the Jinbei DC600. We are focusing on the ones available in our region (Europe) and in the reviews we will include links to reputable dealers that sell them (if there are in multiple countries we will provide links to them too):).
We will be sure to check availability of accessories and spare parts (modeling lights, flash tube, etc.)
