<p>Thanks for the tips guys! Ok, staying away from softboxes. So what I need are just more durable lights. I have two of the lights in the link below. They're not quite bright enough for every shot, but close. Problem is they're absolute junk....bulbs keep blowing, one of the lens glass's shattered just from the heat of it's own light. <br>

Can anyone suggest a good light to replace these that won't fall apart on me?<br>
Also, what's a good source for large reflecting boards? I'm using a few white poster boards, but a bigger/more solid one would be helpful for sure.</p>
