Would seriously recommend these units if you?re going to do any type of volume:

POWER PACKS:
Balcar A3200 4-Head Asymmetrical Power Pack - Price Each: $4,799.00

STROBE HEADS
Balcar Power Z Flash Head - Price Each $799.99
Go with 5 ? 6 heads for an average lighting set up

Run 2 heads per pack with Pocket Wizards as your triggers.

If Balcar is too pricey go with Dyna-Lite:

Dyna-Lite M1000wi Power Supply with Built-in Receiver ? Price each $1,149 per pack
(Get three packs to start with so you can run enough power to light a medium size set.)

STROBE HEADS:
Dyna-Lite 2040 Blower Cooled Flash Head ? Price each $377.50 (Get about 6 of them ? 2 per pack)

LIGHT MODIFIERS:
http://www.plumeltd.com/wafer.htm

We use 2 Plume Wafer 200 (190 x 135 by 65cm deep) as Main and fill with a Wafer Strip 140 (135 x 50 by 50cm deep) as a hair light over head

Then a 7" Reflector with a 20 degree Grid with 1/4 CTO on it as a kicker

Produces a Kick ass light when shot with the Canon 1Ds Mach II camera

Would highly recommend this setup for any serious shooter as we have used it for nearly 20 years. Should be able to do the whole set up for about $14,000 to $23,000 or so and it will last!
