Billed as the industry’s most powerful compact fluorescent lighting system on the market today, the Wescott Spiderlite TD6 is able to house up to six 50-watt fluorescent lights, with an optional Tungsten Halogen 6-pack also available. The low-profile switches on the back of the Spiderlite TD6 operate 2 lamps per switch and can be easily turned on and off to control light output.

For example, you can shoot at a shutter speed of 1/60th of a second, aperture of f/8 at ISO 400/27° when using the 6-pack Westcott 50-watt Daylight Balanced Fluorescent Lamps and a 24” x 32” softbox.
