Just FYI, the Britek lights are pretty much crap. Do a search for "Britek" on the forums and you will find many people who've had nothing but issues with them.

Anyway I will use the quartz who are included in the camera's rental package !!
 
I've used the Britek lights one time. The DP/Director just purchased a set of them. From my limited experience they were pretty much the same as work lights with barndoors. They weren't focusable and the barndoors were rather flimsy. But they did the job and the project did get first place in the contest he had entered.
 
Guys thanks for your answers but the only answer I didn't get is for this !!

How should we know if a non defined softbox fits on a nondifined "quartz" (brand? tungsten light?) light?
Wallimex softboxes normally are for flashes or for their CFL fixtures.
Maybe do a search on Photoflex, their softboxes are less expensive than Chimeras.
If your on a limited budget, also check CoolLights, shipping to Europe is expensive, but the portable Flolights are still a good deal.
 
You are right !! sorry ...

It's a greek company called "MZ lighting" and I will have this model :

Any site that has a similar price point as Britek will probably have the a similar product. And this is product that you need to stay away from. Check out B&h photo video. They ship anywhere.
