I usually add some Lowel tungsten lights with CTB gels over the fixtures further away from the models to light the edges of the set and the background. I have a couple of sturdy Avenger stands to support them. I only use the daylight balanced bulbs so I can mix them with natural daylight from any windows that may exist in the location. I am next going to add another two to four fluorescent fixtures. I think I will look into some of these other options besides Kino Flos to get more lights for the bucks.
