I've been through that whole search for E-bay type cheap lighting system. A lot of people i asked had nothing good to say about them. A lot of people also said they had difficulty replacing parts and the lights had a short life span. Myself will not buy even one of those lights. I would however buy the accessories like the reflectors, umbrellas lightstands and backdrops. And the $24 strobesstrobes to blow out the background.
I'm going alienbees and starting with the alienbees abr800 ringflash. I will get the b400 & b800 type strobes after. The ringflash i think will save on space and accessories while achieving high quality softlight. |

| I had a few Alien Bees for years, and used them all of three times... truly wonderful lights, but it was such a production to set them up and take them down. I sold them on Ebay in July and replaced them with a couple of Vivitar 285HVs. Now that setup is easier, I use artificial light much more often. Check out strobist.com to see what's possible with the humble flashgun. |

| I'm hoping to find someone who has tried Jensenbest as well. I've never had any lighting equipment and am looking for something to start out with. I would like to be able to shoot some family portraits. I hope somebody has bought something from them. |

So far no problems. They shipped pretty quickly. I'd buy from them again. |
