Scott -
Check out Alienbees. They're a division of White Lightening. Good
value for the investment - customer service is great. Adjustable over a
5 f-stop range, built-in slave, built-in modeling light, low trigger
voltage so they're safe on the camera electronics.
I have three of them, with a fourth in the not too distant future. They
offer a 10% discount if you're enrolled in a US college, university or
community college. All you need is a student ID.

Howdy, gang!
I've been toying with the idea of buying a couple of strobes for
portraiture. Whilst looking of the rather meager local selection I
came across a continuous (not flash) cold light set. The set includes
a couple of three bulb 16" reflectors, diffusion screens, and stands.
They're low wattage, 5000K fluorescent lights, and they're very
affordable - about one-fifth what I was planning on spending for
strobes. RPS advertises them as lighting for digital photography, but
since I shoot mainly black and white I thought they might work for me.
Any thoughts on this type of lighting? Any recommendations for other
brands?
This is the first online retailer I found who carries them:

Thanks in advance.
