Ok I just spended another 950$ CND... !!!
I went to the photo/video store just to look with NO INTENSION OF BUYING... But... Anyway, I got out of there with cheap lights I know I will regret it probably, what the hell.. Here is what I bought

1 Kit of Cameron lightning
It include this :
2x 750watt Cameron Quartz Imager q-750/120
6x 250Watt lamp (3x250lamp per light)
2x Reflector 65degree
2x Protective wire mesh
2x Wide angle reflector
2x Cameron Stand 10-LB102W
2x Umbrella
1x Packing bag for Light Head
1x Packing bag for stands

I like the fact that you active 1,2 or 3 light, and also have a dimmer with f-stop indicator.

So far I do not regret it. I used 1 with the umbrella in my room and I was at 4.8f on the camera. So I had alot of light to the sensor. Umbrella did a good job to spread the light. Color at 3.2K look correct.

I was fairly closes to the light, but I am VERY HAPPY so far... Time will tell if it good or not. All the gear seem well made, everything is solid. I am very happy. As for the aurora lite bank... I am not so sure yet, it doesn't seem to reflech much light, my I am fairly limited in space, so I can't try much thing. And my house is a HUGE MESS, so nothing much interesting to film about But I love this light also, it show the dust well so it make to clean up the house easier jk

I'll keep you all posted
