Lighting equipment

[P1X4R]

i was going to go to home depot but my nearby local hardware store had them.

btw, you can actually buy each light without the tripod for something like $12 but i prefer mounting them high on a tripod for safety.

this is what i am talking about:

Or for a few £££ more you can purchase photography lamps.

Photography fluorescent light kit!

here are a few sample pics i took.

Nice shots Ed. Looks pretty natural. Especially AB!

ummm, dont stare into them for long periods of time.

30 bucks at lowes on sale.

i may actually use them as garage/work lights.

I popped into Wickes today to see what telescopic worklight was like and that. As I walked into the store, there stood the worklight in the enterance selling half price at £12.99. Its ex-display but in perfect condition (apart from being a little dusty and no box) with a 500 watt bulb, so i picked it up and bought a 300 watt bulb incase. Good job too... the 500 is REALLY bright. God knows what i'd have been like with the monster rig you have P1, haha.

That was good timing.
Nice bargain you got yourself.
