how large is the base of the light stand? I need to know if these stands can fit in a smallish space.

Yes, but you will need to sandbag them because the stands are not heavy and can tip. Good news is the lights are not hot and the rig is therefore pretty safe.

used them in a studio apartment, stands arent much wider than the entire lightbox itself, maybe 3 ft.

They are variable. It depends on how you set them. I would say you could go down to a 2' square safely and they would not fall over. Smaller and you are taking a chance.

They're awfully small. I just have them sitting on top or the bookcase that I've turned into a stereo stand. I hope that helps.

Depends on the size and type of lighting units as far as whether you'd need more than one stand. If they're really large, then yes, if they're small-ish effect lights, then you'd probably be fine with one, although space would be tight. I was able to fit a medium-small sized effect light and one of the larger American DJ lasers on this stand without a problem, but anything else might've started getting cramped for space. With regards to where you should place it, if you've only got one stand, I'd suspect you'd want it behind you just because otherwise it'd be between you and your audience (unless you put it off to one side in front of you). If you have two stands then you can put them off the the left/right and not have anything between you and the audience.

The base is 5 1/2 inches square, and the lamp, excluding light bulb is 20 inches high. The lamp narrows to about 4 1/2 inches at the top. They are exactly like pictured, and I am very pleased with them. Especially the price. I hope this helps you in making your decision.

When the light is closed the dimensions are 2"x7"x9.75". When wide open they are 2x12.5x9.75. Hope it fits your need.

About a 6 inch clearance, fans out slightly ,not very flexible rods to bend lights lower, bulbs that came with light do heat up fixtures i would go with cfl buls or led. Base is bulky and heavy for support so not to lean over or fall over it, is in a corner because of the reason, Sorry for the delay I was on vacation . Hope this helps Thank U

I believe they are 55" tall un-extended. I use them at 10' tall, but pack them in a 5.5' case with a few inches of space. They are the same size as the OnStage lighting stands you can find specs on other seller sites.

They are a normal light stand. The total height of the Soft-box on the stand could touch my ceilings ... so a little over 7 feet. The main drawback is that there is no tilt adjustments, no boom or any other way to direct the soft-box in the direction you need when positioned above the subject.

the total length is 3 inches and yes it is considered a medium base. It will fit a normal light base.

It will fit fine, my lamp is about 15" tall for normal use. It will provide light for a small room but is a directed beam so it has to point close to where you want it.

I just posted a similar question. I ordered this and received on stand. The description appears to be two. If you look at Product Details it says the shipping weight is 10 pounds. My light stand weighs a little over three pounds. It seems to me there should be two light stands. I think I'll contact Cowboy Studio. Perhaps you might want to do the same.

The base on these is much smaller than your typical 60 watt bulb. I bought them for a chandelier and that's all they fit.

The base is approximately 5.75" wide x 1.5" tall x 1" deep. The light is 8.75" wide, and is approximately 5.5" from the wall. The overall height, with the arm is 5". Hope that helps!

I just measured the adapters that came with our lights. The smallest is 3 5/8", the next is 4 1/8" and the light without the adapter is about 5 1/16". I would say you would either have to shave down the top of the post to 4 1/8" or shim it to make the 5" light fit. They are beautiful and our experience with customer service with the manufacturer has been tremendous. We highly recommend these lights.

The stands are adjustable from approx. 4-8 feet in height. You need to be careful with the clamps that adjust the height, they are entirely plastic with a threaded metal screw and very susceptible to damage.

Yes, you need a light stand. I bought one of the Impact Air-Cushioned Heavy Duty Light Stand - Black, 9.5 feet (2.9m) and it works just fine. Not a perfect fit but when you tighten it on it's pretty secure.

No I wouldn't recommend that at all unless you can figure out a mounting method. The stand is really my only complaint - it's really cheap. I also bought a set of bulbs that do the same thing and put them in my ceiling fan. That worked awesome! Might be a solution to your needs. Light is good, stand sucks! :)
