light is light. as long as it's producing light, it'll be the same whether for film or digital. the key is not worrying that you have digital, but worry about getting something that will last.

Good Morning Nadil, you can find a lot on studio lighting if you look back on the Studio Photography threads especialy 1-10. there are 21 parts. I also have a comparison chart on some different brands of lights on my CD, if you are intrested I will try to pull or copy those frames to post. but it will have to be later tonight or tommorrow as I am off running towards LA today. Wishing you the best in all your ventures, Debby *** and Hey Justin, how are your two doing on your venture?

Greetings Nadil: I agree with Justin in that light is basically light, although color temps from one source to another may vary. My recommendation in monolights is to get as much power as you can afford, even if it means waiting awhile and saving up for a better more powerful unit. My preference is for Bowens monolights which are often sold in sets or on specials by bhphotovideo.com in New York. I now have several of these things, most of them have an output of either 1000 watt-seconds or 1500 and various light modifiers that will fit them in cluding Chimera softboxes and strip banks, umbrellas of different texture and finish (like silver vs. flat white) and of course stands. They're built extremely well but are still light weight enough to haul around and they travel well. Each has built in slaves to trigger each other singly or in combination and they really weren't all that expensive even with UV coated flash tubes. Their recycling time is also excellent even at full power and their color temperature is about dead on. Remember Nadil, it's better to have too much light available and not need it then to need more light and not have it available in any photo situation whether portraits, products, on location or in the studio. I think you'll find the Bowens quite good along with their Calumet lighting counterparts, made by Bowens with Calumets name on them. Checkemout.
