While the lightbox is good, who uses strobe lighting like AB for lighting food, small items, glasses, etc? What did you use before and why/are you glad that you changed?

I'm not exactly sure of the answer you are after, but.... I use strobes with softboxes, without, grids, snoots, shoot through rippled glass, through plants, whatever. I bounce it off mirrors, walls, alum foil, steel plates. I use hot lights, fluorescent's, HMI, halogen, tungsten, work lights, spots, fresnels. Basically, whatever works, whatever lends interested textures, light qualities, or manipulates the light in a visually interesting way. They all have different qualities and properties worth exploring. Here is a strobe with reflector, and a softbox
Reflector in front, grid with gel in the back.
Reflectors and snoots in order to bring out the textures.
I hope thats what you were looking for. Stephen
