Any tips or feedback would be appreciated.

Want to spend over 250 but under 1000

Lemme know Yo!
depends on your output..... i.e. how much you shoot... bees would not handle my work flow, so I use profoto.... novatron are good if you have a slow shoot cycle...

In the past bees have had issue with consistency at low power, and the 1 time I used a bee if fell over and broke. ....

I use umbrellas because I want the specular 'pop' into the skin. plus I want spread into the set, I use photographic white interior on the umbrellas....

a guy using more than 2 lights would probably be better off with soft-boxes for control... something I don't really have issue with using such a small setup...

you can get 1 profoto used for $1000
