Thank you Laura, Cindy, Brett, and Tiia, I really appreciate the kind comments. It's a continuous light kit Cindy. I'll probably invest in a couple of dimmers because the 500 watt bulbs get pretty hot, but it has been fun having more lighting options then just bouncing the flash, or my old high tech lighting kit commonly called a flashlight lol. #8370247
