i guess it would be better to look into lights.

im looking at smith-victor lights at the moment.

what kind of lights are you looking for?

studio lights.

or LED lights.

anything that has lots of watts and can offer lots of lighting.

but i dont want to pay thousands for amazing lights, just something that works well.

led lights arent that good, they dont have much power on them. i ment strobes or some lights that are on all the time

some are really good, i like the effect it has.

lights that are on all the time.

well i shot under these led lights once


and i had to use 3200 iso f/4.5 and 1/160 shutterspeed for this



led light looks bright for eye, but for some reason its pretty dim when you shoot under it. im not very fimilar with those lights that are on all the time, but atleast with metal halide, fluorescent and hps you cant adjust theyr power. strobes would work much better. you know atleast all the studio strobes i have seen have assistant light on all the time that helps you see exactly where the light is coming, but im not sure if cheaper ones have that too or not
