I would suggest skipping out on that.
you can go out and buy 500 w bulbs and lamps for way less than that. Basically, your paying $250 for stands and umbrellas. thats a little to much.

What would be the right thing to do? Would I find the bulbs and lamps at a hardware store and then just buy some umbrellas and stands maybe second hand?
Would this suffice as starter kit? |

Sure it would! Lots of very talented folks here on DPC are using nothing more than desk lamps and/or lights from the hardware store. Or the other option would be to start with one quality light, like an Alien Bee, some white foamcore to use as reflectors and start learning with that. |
