I found a guy selling his old lighting kit. Amongst the setup there are two Arrilite 2000 and he's selling them with new bulbs. So I was wondering if it was worth getting one of these (cant afford both at the moment) for the mere price of 130 dollars or so? Im asking because I can't figure out wether they are outdated now that there are so many LEDs around.

The purpose of this lamp would be for staged shoots and sitdown interviews.

Thanks.
 
I'd grab it and put a 1000 watt bulb in it. I think you'll find that 2000 is a little much (and depending on the circuit you're plugged into, too much to handle). It's a great light and will never be outdated.
 
I have a couple of Arri 2K open face lights. The are great for bounce sources. However I find them to be to much light for their own switches. I have replaced the switches twice, and don't use them that often.
