Will this softbox suffice as an alternative for a larger one or does it only help to light a smaller area?

It depends in how much light your speed light put out. I have a cheap $50 speed light and I can light up the front of a person pretty well. But if you have a good and powerfull speedlight, it will be fine.

I dont believe it is sufficent to replace larger soft box. This is a cheap alternative to using your flash up close and reducing the hard light from the flash. In the longrun if using lighting equipment etc the large softbox is more beneficial.

Wish I could answer your question due to I have never used a large one. After I purchased the one, I ordered another one due to the quality of the photos.

It works as a smaller alternative, but packs more punch than one would think. So it doesn't replace a large, but it is honestly a great alternative.

I think you would do better getting the larger one that has more power, this works ok the room is about 15x15 but had to run it a long time,

The answer is no. It barely lights up the small broom closet I have it in. Ok for the broom closet but nothing larger

I think light output would be fine, but because it is a linear design not sure it's best choice for a 12x12 cube ... a better choice might be 2 smaller clamp lights, or a tile-shaped light, like the AquaRay Mini 500

You in fact do not have to be in a well lighted room for it to work, due to IR tech. The amount of movement required for response is extremely minimal, and can be adjusted in the setup software. I use mine for MSFSX, and the only problem I've encountered is when I have shiny stuff behind me in its field of view. Enjoy, this is a great product.

It would depend on how much light you want. It will light up a room but not real bright, probably in the range of a 25-40 watt light.

This model is a bit small for your area of cacti. I would recommend locating a larger light that can cover more square footage.

I purchased this more for the stand, and softbox. You can always changed the bulb to get brighter. Not sure what the limit would be when using fluorescent lights.

It isn't as bright as i would like it to be. It also requires a certain kind of bulb that doesn't give off a lot of light. It also depends on how big the room is. Hope this helps!

no, you'd never get those big bulbs in (well maybe two on opposing sides)I'd look at the Linco Flora X Lights, they hold 4 bulbs, aren't expensive and come with a nice softbox.

No, it wouldn't be good as the only light source in a large room. I have mine in an average sized bathroom.

It will definitely not be enough light, IMO. Light does not penetrate very deep and the light itself is not very wide either.

As long as it fits the softbox and the slave can "see" the other strobe or strobe, it should work. I use it as a background light, which is probably a better option.

I don't think it's big enough. I have 12 lights equal to about 150 watts, so all my lights are nice & bright. I was told by several people to have a larger transformer than needed or the lights further from the transformer will be dimmer.

It can be attached either way, it's up to your preference with regards to space and area that you are trying to light

Hi Sarah, this softbox does not come with any type of light. It is strictly the light modifier. You will need to provide that separately. In answer to your question you could use either continuous lighting or a flash head.

The size is not the issue so much as the type of softbox. You should probably use a Neewer brand softbox as those are made specifically for their strobelights. I mistakenly purchased a Godox softbox instead of a Neewer brand. The ring does not quite fit the strobelight properly.
