Well.. i know the price difference is huge so in case my budget would have been unlimited i will choose the second one to be sure, but anyone manage to have some success with the lighting set from Coolight?

Lookks pretty attractive to me!

Thanks

The Coollights CL-655 has six PL55 tubes and the Diva400 has only four. Compare the CL-455 to the Diva400. The Diva400 has dimmable ballast, which is an expensive feature but the Coollights are far more affordable. I want one, but have no budget at this time. If there is a grids option, get grids so you can have some more control over the light.

Hi Vincent,

I just bought the 455 and the 255. They turned up yesterday and I'm giving them a proper work out this weekend. I've worked with kino's a lot over the years, but have long thought they are overpriced. My first impression of these coollights is that they are an excellent buy.
