There are a number of names out there that have a good reputation when it comes to studio/location lighting. Amongst these, Elinchrom is one. Another well-known brand is UK-based Bowens.
For those just starting out in studio lighting who want a kit that is of professional quality, sturdy, and comes with an array of upgrade paths, you may want to take a look at the Esprit Gemini 500/500 Travel-Pak kit. Note that you can also buy a version without the battery pack, if you wish, and can upgrade later on.
If you can shell-out a little extra for the complete kit, it is probably worth doing so because it will save you money.
The kit consists of:
• 2 x Bowens Esprit Gemini 500Ws Head.
• 1 x Bowens Travel-Pak + Bag + Charger.
• 1 x Bowens Softbox 60.
• 1 x Bowens 90cm Silver/White Umbrella.
• 2 x Bowens Compact Lighting Support Stand.
• 1 x Bowens Wide Angle Reflector.
• 1 x Bowens Deluxe Kit Bag.
• Power Cords, Sync Leads, Travel-Pak cable & Modelling Lamps.
In Australia, it appears to retail for around $3,999, including GST.
