Hi Bianca,

I will be very interested to hear what your thoughts are on these lights once you get them up and running.

Lighting is just a constant issue. I purchased some Smith and Victor lights in a set last year. It had 3 lights in the kit and came with a case on wheels. It thought this would be perfect if I was going to be getting photo references on the road. The concept is great and I love the boom but they are awful. They get SO incredibly hot you cannot physically adjust them with your bare hands. Using these to also light my studio is bad because they they go thorough bulbs once a week. (Which is expensive and I know it is not great for the environment) But other bulbs I have tried, including the eco-friendly high-powered led's I have tried have not been efficient enough. I know that 5000K is optimal.

If this brand works for you please share what specific ones you chose and include how long the bulbs last.

I'd love to hear anyone's bulb/light of choice...especially if you have found an eco-friendly version! I'd be willing to spend extra if it saved me in the long run.

Thanks,

Amanda
