Re: nice little light kit..
I have to second what Steve says about Mole lights. They are undoubtedly the best. Here's an example of a Mole kit that is comperable (minus the chimera curse it all) to the popular Arri kits. http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?A=ShowProduct&kw=MOBTMM4CK&Q=&O=&sku=191196
Arri's are handy, but for durability, Mole has them beat. The other thing, which may seem nitpicky, is that when you spot in an Arri fresnel, the light is not even, but turns into two hot spots, one right above the other, while the mole pattern stays even. Has anyone else noticed this? As far as Lowells go, the only thing they have that I have seen that is useful is a softbank chimera that had three or four of their 1k broads (tota?..I'm not sure what they call them) mounted so that if you needed more intensity, you just turned on another light. So basically it was a 1k to 4k softbank.
