Lighting kit suggestions

[ThatOneJonGuy]

I'm trying to put together a good lighting kit for around $2000-$2500 total (including stands, barndoors, bulbs, controls, etc.)

Here's what I'm thinking:

2 Altman 650w Fresnels
1 Arri 300w Fresnel
1 Lowel Pro Light 250w
1 Lowel DP 1000w
1 2x55 from Cool Lights

3 Bogen 9' Stands
3 Impact 8' Stands

2 Impact C-Stands

2 30x36 frames (for gels, silks, flags, reflectors, etc.)

Total was around $2200.

I'll probably end up making a few china balls and some additional flags and reflectors. So another $200-$300 for that.

Anyone have any other suggestions/changes? I'm not too sure on the Lowel DP light. Anyone have experience with this fixture?

Thanks!

[Cool Lights]

The CL-255 from Cool Lights USA is great. I personally use one quite often!

Seriously though. If you get that, make sure you get the 3200K bulbs to match the rest of what you've got there. You probably already realized that but just want to remind you.
