Hi tekguy22,

Here is a link for a podcast we did on studio lighting for beginners it may well help you to decide.

I think the lights you may have been referring to are made by ianaro. I too used these when i went to photo school years ago.

These are good lights for sure but they get real hot, real fast.

Hope that helps,

Marko
