Because good LED Lights are expensive...your alternative is using "Hot Lights" which are traditional
lights with Bulbs.
They look great, especially when lighting people.
You can get a whole kit for less then one Litepanel Bicolor light.
The Arri Light Kit includes everything pictured

The Arri Kit comes with a Chimera Video Pro Soft Box(small).
I suggest purchasing an Egg Crate for the Chimera. This "Flags" your light, removing spill from your background.

I also recommend a sheet/roll of 1/8 CTO. You will use this to warm up the person in your shot.

Another option for your KEY Light is KINO Lighting Systems.
Kino Divas are great Key lights. Very
effective when shooting in Mixed lighting (Daylight & Tungsten). You can order them with both Daylight and Tungsten Bulbs.
Price $1,200 with one set of Bulbs
Kino has also introduced an
LED version of their DIVA light.
Price $2,600
In most lighting set ups, you will need a large piece of White "Foam Core". This hangs from a "C-Stand" and acts as your "Fill".
