Hey guys..tell me what you think of this light kit for a starter kit. I dont have any lighting equipment at all right now and am looking to buy some real soon. I want to do some portraits and kids photos....that kind of stuff.
Thanks!

I would pay a bit more and go for this:

It's much more portable and versatile. Continuous lights generate a lot of heat

I tried to bounce my flash off the ceiling once. Left a mark on the ceiling and broke my flash.
