I think i messed up

You can control the amount of light on the subject with distance. You can also use a dimmer. You may also be able to substitute a different bulb with lower wattage. 100 watts will burn through a battery pretty fast.
 
thanks for your responce, but do i have to get a dimmer, or does this light have one? also, how fast are we talking here, if i use those 5 hr batteries? "You can control the amount of light on the subject with distance." you mean like move away and closer right?
 
I bought the same light kit at b&h for 75.00 less and it works ok. Not super great but the other people I shoot with have anton bauer and frezzies. Here is a link to b&h

The higher end lights seem to produce a whiter light but when you white balance with this light it does work. I shoot alot of weddings with this. The light is not a spot but works to about 8-10 feet.
 
like I said it works. It has saved a few shots and I always carry it with me to shoots even if I don't use it. My next on camera light will be a higher end one. I have found b&h to overall have pretty good prices and has a very good rep. I have heard bad things about broadway but have not ordered from them myself. Hope everything works out good for you and the best of luck with your shoots.

What five-hour batteries? The light you're pointing to looks like it has some sort of belt-pack battery. Most of these on-camera lights will use a battery belt and either a cigarette-lighter or XLR plug for the power connection. A 100-watt battery will burn through a 10-pound battery belt in somewhere around 2 hours.

arent those 5000 mah (sp) around five hours? Also, I dont know it the one on broadway has that battery pack... I hope so.

EDIT: Thanks barry! I found that it does have a battery pack and I feel a lot better about buying it now.
