Have no knowledge of those lights so can't comment. But if Aaron and Donavan use them they can't be too bad.

But DO GET A LIGHT METRE.

Many reasons, you need to know what the lights are doing and what power they are sending out. All locations will alter and a light metre will tell you this. Relying on what happened last time is silly and serves no purpose.

Plus models are impressed as you move around them with the light metre and infa red remote, flashing off the lights and adjusting them. models perception of you is very important.

You need two sets of lights, one for video and one for stills. Use switchable extension cables to switch for one to the other or shoot the stills then the video.
