My Build-It-Yourself HOME DEPOT VIDEO Lights...(Pics)

In follow-up to Halycon's thread I decided to build a set of lights as cheap as possible. Here are my lights...total cost appx: $35 each -- these are the poor-man's choice based off these: http://www.adorama.com/SASLF6.html which retail for $170 each plus shipping. They are by no means the same but definently cheap. I'll post a follow-up after we shoot a few scenes with them this weekend.









A piece of sheet metal, sheet metal duct box, (4) screw-in sockets, and (4) 100W high output bulbs that draw 23 watts, 1600 lumens (on sale now in 4 packs for $9.99). Then add your diffusion sheet of choice.
