What is the difference between balloon lights and light stands?

Balloon lights and light stands are both lighting fixtures on an adjustable stand, but the light they emit is different. Balloon lights feature a translucent, fabric balloon that surrounds the light bulbs. This diffuses the light and reduces the harsh glare and shadows cast by exposed bulbs. The fixture on a light stand is typically a spotlight or floodlight that is not softened by a balloon, so it produces directional light with harsh shadows and glare.

What’s the effective lighting area (square feet) for balloon lights?

The effective lighting area for balloon lights varies from light to light, but the coverage area for our balloon lights ranges from 62 square feet to 146 square feet.

What power source is required for balloon lights and what is the power consumption?

Balloon lights typically come with a power cord and require an AC power outlet with a typical input voltage of 120V.
