Adding lights

[BruceMo]

At the moment I have a set of interfit ex150 lights for the stuio

I'm looking for one or two slave flash heads for backgrounds/gels, which would be used as speedlights when out n about
So, questions

1 Am I correct in thinking the slaves would be triggered by studio lights
2 what flash heads are reasonable as bacground studio and external flash (intend using neewer radio triggers for ocf)
3 pretty confusing, so any help, tips, advice, recommendations much appreciated
4 any full kits (stand, flash, brolly whatever) that would help with above you have used
Cheers

if the heads have a optical slave, they trigger eachother, so you only need to fire one, and the lot go off

for most applications, a pair of 200W/s is more than enough to light a backdrop

Thanks Richard, since this was asked, I've been all over looking for info, and learning about speedlight world
Have decided to eventually have a sb700/900/910 with a sb600 slave if i need two outside, think i've bought an sb600 to practice and suss out
Its a whole new thing to learn, but looks fun
