Portrait with cheap lights!

I ordered some cheap Lights on ebay and just set them up with 2 umbrellas to see how they did and im pretty impressed really.
This is the first and only shot I took though as children dont like to pose for long do they!
Ill try them out again on an adult to see the full effect!

nice...i just bought a kit from ebay and have gotten some good shots ...though i have soooooo much to learn.

I prob should have just bought a kit a long time ago but Ive had so much conflicting advice about the cheap kits out there that I ended up getting stands and umbrellas to use with my strobes but didnt really spend enough time to learn how to use them properly so when I saw these so cheap I thought why not. Easier to use than the strobes but prob same effect...
What I am thinking next though is actually taking the time out to learn as I have 3 strobes which I can use to light backgrounds and use as hair lights etc.
I have no patience though! thats my problem.

The lights dont seem to have anywhere for attachments...say a snoot....does anyone know of any companies or anything that make adapaters or something? Im not really sure what it is I am looking for so ignore me if I make no sense!! haha
I suppose just something to put on the front to direct the light better. I have seen little kits for strobes.

nice shot , might get myself a couple of those lights

yeh...defo worth it for the money!

Nice, I'd like to see these lights aswell..

There's a less than 5$ metal adapter you can buy that is a female hot shoe mount with a tapped threaded hole that will attache to a standard tripod camera mounting stud. I don't know who makes it, my camera shop had a bin full with no label. I use it to mount my flash when radio triggering it to extra tripods I have.

This is a nice clear shot!

Theres a link to the lights just above the pictures.

BSMOTRIL - I havent a clue...cant picture anything...are you referring to attaching a snoot to the actual front of the light?

I have some adapters that attach my flash guns to stands. and you can put umbrellas in these. is that what you mean??
