Coollights LED Setup

So i'm buying my first lighting kit, and albeit I don't know THAT much about lighting but learning.. I shoot alot of music videos, as well as interviews often so i'm looking for a somewhat portable light kit. If possible i'd like to go with LED light kits just simply because they seem to be much less of a hassle than to work with hot lights and all the components/precautions needed for that.

I'm thinking of this for a starting setup:

^ The 5600k flood as a key, and then this:

as the hair light in the 5600k spot version.

I'm thinking of just going for a reflector as fill and that being my 3pt kit.

How does this sound? I'm a little concerned it might not be enough wattage, however for interview it should be fine, but music videos if im trying to light anything big it might be a stretch.

I know coollights is a very reputable dealer and they offer good value for their lights, so i'm confident purchasing from them.

The lights come with barndoors as well so thats a big plus..

Let me know what you guys think
 
It will be great for interviews.


Do yourself a favor, and get the softbox for the spot.

You'll want to use that for the key and the flood for the hair light.
