Is this a good light system to use with a canon 20d? or even in general?

    Never heard of them. A quick google search says they are a Chinese company. Not much else to read up on.

    Personally, I'd stay away from them (but only because I can't find too much
    about these lights).

    I picked up a cheap set of the Yake lights (strobes), and i have to tell you for the price, I really like them (I am not sure of the model). I paid like $200 for them (slightly used) and it came with three strobes, two soft-boxes, 3 stands and sinc cables.

    Do you have any more info on the set you are talking about?

    The only real flaw I find is the modeling light is not variable and you only have full and half power to choose from.... but for the price I can move the light from the subject to compensate.

    Hope this helps.
