Film Lighting
I live in Canada and want to purchase I decent cheap light. Something along the lines of Paglight or something better. Im not entirely sure what I want but I was hoping if you guys could give me some suggestions on where to go. Thanks alot. If not then im going to buy highpowered flashlights for 50 bucks that run for hours and build my own kind of cover. They did on a shoot I was on a while back. But yah any suggestions would be appreciated even if I have to make something.
RE: Film Lighting
Anyting whith lighting is expensive, try eBay and search for Lowell lighting. If you wanna go the ghetto route get high powered construction lighting at Lowes or Home Depot.

Sorry, If I needed lighting I would do the same. I meant "independent", yeah, how "independent" of you.
I meant the last part. You said you mean independant, how independant of you. What the hell does that mean? Is that directed to me or those other guys. Also can you please post about the topic instead of spamming it by stating that you would do the same. I asked for help not your random ramblings. Please and thank you. My solution for this is to get some nice industrial lights. 40 or so bucks for the small ones. Then I plan to build a softbox for it to diffuse the light and make it soft. But thanks for the suggestions.Sorry, If I needed lighting I would do the same. I meant "independent", yeah, how "independent" of you.

If you're looking to pay ~$50 per light, I'd go with the home improvement stores too. Just remove the safety grills on halogen lights. There are a few setbacks though, irregular light shape, unevenness in intensity/color, no barndoors. But you can usually make it work out OK in the end. They get just as hot as industrial lights too! So be careful not to handle them until 5 minutes after the light has been turned off.
