Re: Arri light kit ROCKS!.
I have been shooting with Arri lights for 10 years, and I have never seen one go down in a shoot. Very reliable, high quality. I sell many other good brands, but Arri is tops in my book for quality, reliability, and price. You don't see people selling much used Arri Kits. Nobody gets rid of them after they buy them. A perfect balance will have some kino, and some tungsten, when you need more punch in a wide shot where you can't bring the kino's closer in to the subject. Video demands soft light on the human subject. Electronic signals just don't smooth facial lines like the three-dimensional body of silver halide emulsions. I always soft-light faces. It brings appeal into their eyes, too.

Re: Arri light kit ROCKS!.
Just dont get the arrilite floods... they are the cheapest ones. They are a little weak, well I managed to break one and the barn doors are cheeze.
The 150-300-650 fresnels.. golden stuff.

True, they are not cast like the fresnels, so they are not as strong.

Also, if you are very tight on funds, the B & M "Mac Lights" are a fantastic bargain. 650w, you can get on eBay for 240.00 brand new with barn doors., 1000w for 260.00, And if you need any small 200w lights, 185.00

I totally agree. The B&M's are amazing lights for the price. If people would buy these instead of Lowel's and worklights, they'd be a lot better off!
And yes, you can get some decent lights off ebay for not much. I picked up an older Mole 2k for $150 (from the same B&M seller, pyramid-films). It's much, much larger than the newer unit, so you get a nicer, larger spread of light.
