I just bought 2 white lightning ultra 600's. I know little about, and wondered

what I should buy to make it a complette studio? Should I mix 800's & 1600's?

Or stay w/600's? Anyone have a spare white lightning or 2 want to sell? I was

told that these 2 I bought would be great for fill and hair lights. thanx for

all help and advise in advance. peace!

Depending on your set up: room, modifiers, what you are shooting-- you can probably use those as a key light also. I think the 600's are about 400 real watts? I've shoot many a picture w/ my key turned down to 200 jules.

 

Before buying more lights, I'd buy lighting modifiers. Man, there is a world out there of them :) I'm constantly wanting something new to play w/. My current "want list-- but not enough need to buy" is a Mola Setti dish.

 

I'd start w/ two umbrellas (assuming portrait work) and a medium softbox, and a 7" reflector w/ a few grids (maybe start w/ a 20^ grid). If you are doing product/still life: forget the umbrellas, and get a small, and extra small softbox (or snoot) to mix it up.

 

If you want better advice, give more information as to what you will be shooting.
