Is there an option for “gel spheres”? Or will I need to DIY a color gel that surrounds a bulb 360 degrees.

Softbox with 30W light bulb?

( www.reddit.com )

Softbox with 30W light bulb? I’m wanting to buy my first softbox for studio photography but my budget is very low. I came across a great deal but the LED light bulb is 30 watts.
