Some good, but cheap lights.

[Nathaniel McInnes]

Hi. I am looking for some good lights. I only need two. I am looking for a package. Which will inlclude two lights and stands with a few bulbs.

My budget is only £600. Also they need to be photographic lights aswell. Where i can hook it up to my camera (Digital SLR) and use it as a flash.

Can any one help?

Thanks,
Nathaniel

Jeez, Nathaniel, there are so many variables in this situation. There are an incredible amount of lights and lighting situations...what are you looking to do with them?

Are these going to be used for video too? If so, that's two conflicting goals. Flash not necessary for video and is another type of light that can be used in a softbox but of course you would want a continuous hot or cool light in the softbox too for video and some other photography work as well. The softbox has to be rated for the highest wattage you'll use in it so that's a more beefy one than the typical one sold for flash use. From what I've seen it's harder to get a "photographic kit" to work for video than it is to get a video kit to work for photography.
