Comments on: B&H Photo Introduces the “Westcott Scott Kelby Studio Kit” featuring Westcott’s TD-5 SpyderLites http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2007/archives/226 Scoops, tips and comments published exclusively for friends of Scott Kelby Sat, 20 Mar 2010 19:48:08 -0500 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.8.6 hourly 1 By: Robert George http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2007/archives/226/comment-page-1#comment-75191 Robert George Sun, 20 Jul 2008 17:54:29 +0000 http://www.scottkelby.com/blog/2007/archives/226#comment-75191 Scott, Certainly know about your Photoshop books but didn't realize you did lighting seminars as well. Now that some time has passed are you finding the hot lights adequate for most still photo shoots? I work in the TV industry as an audio guy and have had a lot of exposure to hot lights. Moving towards still photography as a profession as opposed to the obsession and sometimes profession it has played in the past. Would love to stick to hot lights which can now actually be quite cool. We use diva lights all the time. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this matter now that you've been using this Westcott kit for a while? Sincerely, Robert Scott,

Thanks for a great seminar.

These look like great kits and sound like a nice, although somewhat pricey, place for me to start out as a professional amateur for a good lighting kit. Which bulbs/sets do you recommend? Fluorescent seems like a decent choice, but there appears to be several varieties of those (wattage, frosted vs. not frosted, etc.) Thanks! Brian I second Glyn’s question.

Just one question though if you don't mind .... the kits come without bulbs ... what bulbs would you recommend using for portraits etc? Thanks for your time with this, but hey make sure you get some 'shut eye' before responding :o) Regards, Glyn Hi Scott,
