Actually, that is the route I have just taken - though, not overly expensive. I went to a site called B&H Photography and bought a Smith-Victor Photography Lighting Kit - the K42-ua Quartz Lighting Kit - $319.

(The forum keeps truncating the URL to the actual kit, but that will at least get you to the site.)

It is a continuous lighting system. I have used strobe flash systems before, but prefer to actually see my lighting...hence the constant lighting system. Plus, it's portable.
