When I begin to take photographs with the device, I will share them with you share my settings with you and hope to learn from you some of the settings, but I’m currently using is a Nikon D 500 with an 85 mm macro, lens tripod, carbon fiber with like a $600 head. Everything works great on the inside and I’ve done some playing around with turning on and off different light settings, and in coming up with the different settings of the coins and it is perfect I don’t know. I thought there was one panel that was supposed to be used with a cell phone that didn’t come with not like I care. I will never use a cell phone to take a photograph of a coin to publish or to you post anywhere, but I don’t know if that was an oversight or if that was something that I had to order extra, but everything else is great. I also saw you did reinforce that thin plastic member, Outstanding you actually listened to you customer. I will be passing on the highest opinion and honor the this product deserves to my fellow numismatic photographers, because right now I’m the first I like being on the cutting edge and with the product like yours oh hell, yeah!!

As a commercial photographer and lighting designer, I’ve rigged countless setups for capturing reflective surfaces, but the Halumin "C" has redefined my workflow. This circular, open-light design is a revelation for photographing coins, delivering unparalleled results for both raw and slabbed pieces. Having already invested in two of the larger H18 units, I added the compact "C" to my arsenal, and it’s quickly become a standout.

The "C" strikes a perfect balance of size and performance. Unlike the H18, which demands more space than my desk allows, the "C" fits seamlessly into tighter setups. Setup is a breeze—within five minutes, I had it ready to go. Paired with a camera locked in full manual mode, the intuitive slider adjustments let me fine-tune lighting without ever touching the camera or subject. This precision translates to a gallery of crisp, stunning images with minimal effort.

The lighting quality is exceptional, rendering intricate details and textures with clarity that’s ideal for appraisals or auction catalogs. It’s not just a lightbox; it’s a transformative tool that accelerates workflow while producing professional-grade results. For coin photography, the Halumin "C" is as indispensable as a 10x loupe—a must-have for anyone serious about capturing reflective objects with finesse.

I've been a semi pro photographer for decades. Shot and developed Black and White in the darkroom in Highschool for the yearbook in 1968. Never could catch lovely patina, and the multitude of colors that exsisted in such!! This small box is THE ANSWER!! GREAT PRODUCT and GREAT PRICE!!

This has replaced a number of expensive devices, and simplified the process of coin photography

Ordered the ACL kit 2 weeks ago and it arrived as advertised. I've found the construction to be solid and well made. There is definitely a break in period as the telescoping legs are manufactured to very tight tolerances. They work as intended, and I love the versatility they bring to solo projects. I use these in conjunction with two sandbag weights at the base of the legs per the manufacturer's recommendation.

My experience with the Halumin modifier as intriguing and fun. I found that if you are looking for a dramatic look with a tight crop, this works well for a portrait. Once you learn how to play with the flags that are included in the set, you can get various different looks for your client/model.

Great tool to help enhance the objects you are photographing. I specialize in selling ancient coins and Halumin brings them to life. I have bought numerous lighting tools for my studio and this is hands down the best one. Thank you!

I've had this product at my studio for a few months now and I'm nothing short of impressed with it in so many ways. 1) Super easy setup. The whole kit goes together in less than 5 minutes. 2) Quality of light. I've shot for over 20 years and I can honestly say it feels like cheating with how instantly you can create top notch lighting for products. 3) Material quality. It's made of thick, durable materials that wont rip apart after a few uses. 4) Portability. I love how easy it folds up and fits in the carrying case. BOTTOM LINE: I'd buy this again. 10/10.

As a leading rental house in NY we found the Halumin to be a revolutionary product and a game changer for PRODUCT AND FOOD PHOTOGRAPHY we look forward rent them out to our professional customers

The Halumin has made my work so much easier for me. This one product shapes light in a way that I can only achieve with four different lights. I have been working with a Halumin for over a year now I am not easy on my gear. When I tell you, this is the best made product that I own photographically speaking; I am speaking the truth. A lot of thought, and intention went into this product. It is made really well. If you’re thinking about purchasing, Stop. Go ahead and make that purchase and thank me later!

Finally something came along that made “smaller than a breadbox” product photography quick and easy. No-brainer great light. But probably the best part is how well thought out the Halumin is. Obviously designed by a photographer for photographers. Great design and workmanship to last for years of use. The whole kit, lights and all, fits to a small bag at least for me using Canon Speedlights.

Con i tutorial è semplicissimo ottenere risultati fantastici.
Super consigliato!

Stiamo ancora testando le potenzialità che sembrano infinite

I cannot recommend this product enough. Its lightweight and compact design makes it easy to transport and set up and is designed to fit most standard strobes and flash units, which makes it a versatile tool for photographers who use different equipment. When my colleague and I took the first shot using it the silence was deafening as we viewed the result.
The Halumin Light Modifier is a durable, versatile, and affordable lighting accessory that can help you take your photography to the next level.

I've worked in production for 20+ years. I've lit scenes with a lighting crew and a truck full of lights, nets, flags, silks, etc. And I've been a solo run & gun producer lighting with a smaller kit. Maybe 3 to five lights, black wrap and a few C-stands.
Product shots have always taken time no matter what size the production. Using several lights to get just the right sheen, highlight, shadow or reflection while not introducing bad highlights, shadow or reflections is like threading a needle.
This tool does it in an instant. If it looks a bit off, its a small shift of elevation or angle and you get an entirely new look. Its so easy to experiment and it takes minutes, not hours. I hate the term "game changer" but Halumin has made me use it.
The attached images were done on a whim, in about 10 minutes, from the time I had the idea sitting on my couch to the finished shots on my phone. I used only my Halumin with two $90 Aputure MC RGBWW LED Lights that I rigged to the provided speedlight straps. Those straps aren't meant for LEDs this small but a little Gaff tape gets it done!
Halumin's build quality is great! This thing is WELL BUILT. The material it's made of is thick. Solidly sewn & assembled. You don't have to baby this tool. It will perform amazingly in real world production environments and feels like it will last for many, many years. My guess is I will buy a newer, updated model before this one wears out. If you have any doubts, don't. This light (modifier) will deliver!

(also, the very heady beer pour is from a sadly underused tap this week. I'll do better. Cheers!)

This is the most necessary item for my photo studio.
I use it with Profoto D2.
