This is a three light kit, the two lights with the umbrellas will give you a soft, balanced all over light, perfect for even lighting over a broader area, while the softbox light, used with or without the included diffuser will provide a more directional soft light. Use the softbox as your main light to really describe your subject and use one of the umbrella lights to fill in the soft shadows. Use the third light to fill in a background.
This is also a great set up for a video interviews, instructional, youtube or webcam productions.
*About Fluorescent Lighting
Fluorescent lamps are more efficient than incandescent light bulbs because a greater proportion of the power used is converted into useable light rather than heat, allowing the fluorescent lamp to run cooler. Thus a fluorescent lamp requiring 85 watts of power, for instance, produces as much light as a 300 watt incandescent light bulb, but with up to 90% less heat.
