Yes
wonder if anyone could help bt by telling me if these would do the job?

cousin has asked me to take the photos at her wedding, but the hotel manager has said that the guests usually get their pics taken in a room that has an open fireplace, but extra lighting would be needed!

since i have never done this before, but really want to get into it, i thought i should maybe purchase these, but dont want to if they wont be any use!!

thanks for your time and help

also - sorry if i am not allowed to post links on here:bonk:
 
Have you got any examples of pics taken in this location?

Or a link to the venue?

It would help us deconstruct how they have been shot in the past.
The size of the room and how many people you will need to light also comes into it.

It also depends on what you will be using. Some cameras have such good ISO performance these days you can almost shoot in the dark!
 
TBH looking at that pic I think those lights are overkill if you were using a dslr but on seeing you have an H3 I can see the problem!

Two ways of doing it and you already have the first. The other way would be to use your on board flash to trigger an external flash using a slave. That's probably even more expensive than the lights you have found. Also seeing that the H3 starts to deteriorate at ISO 400, you want as much light as you can add without making people shiny!

So, in your shoes, I think you may have found your solution. :)
 
Yep :) Has a few things in it's favour.

1. It's colour balanced.
2. It's diffused.
3. You can see where the light is because it is continuous.
4. You can use it for lots of other things.

One disadvantage is that I think it's either off or on???? You might have to move it about a bit if it's too dull/bright.
