Well these aren't going to do a lot for you. They're only photo floods, some with umbrellas. Not much light control, I'm assumig these are your first lights. You really need some fresnels, with barn doors to control spill. TRUST ME! I made the same mistake, I got SV photofloods with umbrellas, they're cool, but have limited uses.

That being said, of all of those, I would get the KLC82, because they have those little half barndoors.
