Please suggest some good Studio 2 or 3 lighting kits..

Hey All

Well, I purchased some gear from someone on here a year or so ago, and it has been excellent thus far, but today it failed on me and so I am now in the market for a replacement studio kit.

I have no idea what to go for, or what is good quality v's what is not so good quality. Can someone offer some advice please as to what I should go for...?

I like the look of the Elinchrom D-Lites, and the Interfit kits look reasonably priced. I have a very nice promotional job booked for Tuesday morning so need to arrange for next day delivery before 09:00 which I know many companies offer.

Budget is between £350 - £500, but I don't really need a 3 head kit as I have two good heads already that I use for background lighting. Can the flash experts here offer some advice please, thanks.

I think there's many "flash experts" on this forum, John.......but they dont necessarily know anything about lighting!!

You don't say what type of photography you want to use them for, but assuming portraits then Elinchrom D Lites (an update of their budget Prolinca range) is a safe buy, if not very good value for money.

Bowens is another good choice, and if you're looking for good value for money then Lencarta (sold only on Ebay) is a good choice.

Interfit don't have the best reputation for quality or reliability...
