I'd look into getting some small studio strobes with
modeling lights before I switched to constant light
sources.<
Recently I got a Hama SF-30E studio flash light for about $100. It is GN36
(in meters), comes with a sync cord, slave sensor, tripod mount and fits in
any nomal E27 lamp socket. There's a guide light in it and flash output is
either full, 1/2 or 1/4. Also available are wide-angle attachments, filters,
softbox, snoot and barndoors all very nicely prized (I think the barndoors
were $20).
I haven't used it yet so I can't help you there. I don't know if Hama is
available outside Europe though.
