I'm not sure if my techinque is improving or they are doing the lighting better - but I think they came out quite well, if I do say so myself.

I went for:

2x 85W (400W eq Daylight Balanced 5500K) (Price for 2 bulbs)

Need stands and screw holders as well...

Also getting a 105W (525W eq) for front lighting...

My thoughts for using continuous rather than strobe lighting:

Compact fluorescents don't have the heat of Hot lights.

I can't see the light and shadow with strobes, I can only guess. So I won't know that the nose shadow from a person will cover their mouth or it'll softly blend away, unless I take a shot, adjust, take a shot adjust, and when the target moves, you repeat. Guess and repeat. Slow way to learn to light...

Oh and good strobes are stoopidly expensive!

And they can be used for film; not that I'm really interested in it - but the Yayzus and I were going to do some skits :-)

Seem sensible?

Yes indeed, although *proper* strobes (not camera mounted jobs, studio lights) have modelling lights as well, so you can determine how the shadows fall before you take the shot.

You'll be stars of YouTube before you know it ;)
