Behringer lights

Hi!
Have you ever thought about buying some behringer spotlights? I think they have a very good price. I'm not sure but I think there is a "piece" for tripods to allow them to hold this kind of lights. Do you know what I mean? This would be a good solution for a lighting kit, don't you think? I know they are made for lighting concerts but... let me know what you think.
Thanks

Re: Behringer lights

Pars are an excellent part of the lighting arsenal. They are great for lighting trees, or buildings from a good distance. Any time you need to throw a hard light a long way. Plus you can bounce them into cards or foamcore for soft lighting. I used to put full blue on one and use it as a fill when shooting someone in full daylight, just because it was a little easier on the talent's eyes than a reflector.

Thanks!

I wonder if it will be enough 560W. Do you think that with the lenses, the "power" of the PAR will be 1000W for example? Do you know what I mean? With a lens the intensity of the light should increase, shouldn't it?

I'm was thinking about buying a lighting kit but now I'm planning to make my own "low budget" lighting kit. I'm also thinking about making a "cold light" kit with fluorescents but not sure how... :-/

Yeah, those new par designs put out light comparable to 1k par globes.

Berherringer (sp?) is known for making good quality but very inexpensive knock-off equipment. Those lights look like a good solid design. I gaffed a 16mm feature that was lit almost exclusively w/ 6 of those types of par64s.
