NEED SOME ADVICE - Building a 3 fixture flo or led kit for under $4000....Coollights?

[blake2404]

Need a hand here. I wanna build a kit for max $4000 (before taxes).

Need something energy efficient. At the very least 3 fixtures with the equivilent of 500 watt key and 2x 250 watt fill and back lights.....if not more.

Any users of COOL LIGHTS?

Keep in mind i want to budget for extras......bulbs, flags, gels, etc.

I have 3 CDM 150's and I love them. Very cool don't
put out tons of heat and are daylight balanced. No need
to put on a gel and loose light output to be balanced to daylight,
quite nice.

I wish I had a slightly lower watt output for a rim light however
it's still manageable.

Only thing to keep in mind is you have to wait about 5 minutes
to re-strike them and they take on average 1-2 minutes to warm up
and stabilize in color temperature.

Also recommend the Flag Kit Pro from Digital Juice, good product
not very expensive. The gel pack they sell I like quite a bit
as well.
