They really are awful, but you can use them... make sure that you let them cool before you try to move them or the bulbs will break. If you've got a bit more money try something like this... you'll be much happier:

Thanks for your help as always

Doing a quick shoot tomorrow so no time for eBay.

I'll definately pick up a set of those later though

If it's just time was an issue, and not money... I wouldn't get that set.... there's some $300-$400 sets on ebay (with 3 lights, and more power) that you should look at. Still very inexpensive, but will work great at your level.
