2 x 1000 watt bulbs . Thats some serious heat generators and bright.

Tricky one Postie. Some people find a constant light source easier to work with. Determining where the shadows will be, and their intensity. Trying to think who said that in an old post in the Flash Forum. The downside of constant light outfits is heat generated by the bulbs. Turn the lights on and you know it. In this case 2 x 1000watt bulbs in a fairly small room is to the eyes pretty bright. No idea how you can chimp in that light. I think Clive ( Gidders ) uses a constant light set up. I'm sure he posted a pic of his set up in a thread somewhere. I will search.

Personally I am 100% for flash. Once you have had a bit of a play its not as tricky as you might think. Again personal opinion but I think it far more versatile than a constant light source.

Best bet for now is to see if Clive picks up on this thread and see what he thinks.
