That was my plan, but I was going 800 green, 400 yellow, 1600 pink. Then I started changing out for white lightning before I got too far on them. Gear- Why do you care? If my image is good it's good, if it sucks it sucks. It's most likely my own fault.

For the few extra dollars you get a light that can cover the entire 400,800,1600 range. I wish I would have started with them in the first place. And they come with a very nice carry bag too
