IM NEW with an old mind.

Videssence Baby Base Fluorescent 3-Light KIT with Carrying Case
I found this working shape from 45 to 69 bucks however the same new on B&H is 1800.00 bucks/ Am I missing something. I need low cost lights to shoot pics at my Daughter's wedding and to take pics of items I sell.. cheers and think you Joe

Those kits are kinda crappy. If you are doing a wedding you need to teach yourself flash

I have some Videssence fluorescent lights - they are very good for what they are, which is older technology for shooting video.

Agreeing with gonzogolf that these would be a very poor choice for a wedding. Bulky, on stands, ac power only, not much throw.

OTOH they could be just fine for taking pictures of small items you sell. And the price is right if they are working. If they need repair I’d steer clear as this tech is no longer manufactured, and it may be difficult to get parts.

Still pics at a fixed site was the idea. But.. any low-cost suggestions? And think you very much
