Thanks for the info

Try Foto Flo, they are banks of tungsten and/or daylight fluorescent bulbs that cast no shadows and runs on 120 watts plus they are portable... only the best

No problem. Lighting is a funny thing and i don't know as much about video but it seems logical to have more power and to bounce it for several reasons. I have been using a 250 watt light with a diffuser but my last shoot i used a 500 watt which made a difference since the model was black. In the near future i will be investing in a more sophisticated video lighting system.

I will tell you with jtl's you dont want to go higher than 500 watts they have been known to catch on fire. With most new camcorders even the cheap ones you dont need that much light.

She said a few hundred not a few thousand. I wouldnt look at just kino anymore other companies are coming out with close to the same quality but alot cheaper like lowell.
