Team Photos - Portable Lighting Kit


Hello Fellow Photographers,
I have recently been asked to be the photographer for a local community's group of sports teams (ie. about 20 teams consisting of soccer and baseball). I need to buy a portable lighting kit to deal with the poor lighting in the hockey arena for the team pics. I don't know exactly what to look for as I have not done much indoor photography. I am looking at a Smith-Victor KT800 kit but would like some imput. Any assistance would be great.

  Good Day,
Here is a guy I have bought from on ebay:

I have used these lights on a lot of my work in my gallery and with this set you can shoot over 30 people-4 light system-gives you main,fill,and back light and then a hairlight- when doing a group of 30+ I use the hair light (with a softbox not the snoot) as another fill light and add a 5th as a 2nd backlight- this really takes care of any shadows etc.and you can use two different colored gells on the backlights to get team colors.
hope this helps,
