I am finally going to invest some $$ into a set of studio lights. My partner and I do basically children & pet photography and a few coorporate functions through out the year (basically candids and some "prom" style pics).

I know how to use lights but I dont know much about lights in general (quality, manufacturers etc...)

I have looked into Alien Bees and like what they offer. I just want to see if you guys can recommend anything else before I make my order. We arent looking to spend a ton and only need a two light setup

Thanks

I use Alien Bees and recommend them all the way. I like the battery pack they offer as well for location work. I have used several other brands, Novatron, Studio Max, and JBL and the Alien Bees are incredible. Get the package and shoot away!!!

I'm enjoying my Alien Bees kit. Also, my school also just upgraded their studio's lighting to an Alien Bees setup.
