Just wondering which lighting kits Warriors are using for videos?

Any recommendations?

Thanks for your help.

I invested in the Micansu Super Softbox Lighting Kit
(via Smick.co.uk):

Super Softbox 3 head Lighting for Digital and Video - Continuous Lighting Kits - Super Softbox 3 head Lighting for Digital and Video - Smick.co.uk (no affil.)

You can see a video example with the kit in the video below:

YouTube - Broadcast Yourself.

It's a decent entry-level lighting kit for a beginner's
home studio.

They're based in the UK and deliver the next day.

Previously, I was using a pair of workmen's 500W lights
but was "sweatin' cobs" during filming due to the excess
heat.

Now with the proper softbox lights, I can generate more
than enough light without the uncomfortable heat.

Dedicated to mutual success,

Shaun

  This looks like a really good setup. Lighting has come a long way since I was a film student. Back then we used to use two "redheads" and a "blonde".

2 "china ball" lights from ikea.

Cheap. Effective. Hard to mess up.

Get two of them, one on either side of the camera, and shoot away.

Something like this:
Lindcraft 12" White Paper China Ball - Filmtools

Makes videos that look like this:

Thanks all, just ordered the softbox kit.

All I have to do now is get my vids get banned from Youtube to start feeling like a real video marketer.
