I have a few questions. I am planning to purchase a 4 light alienbee kit as a starter studio setup. seen here: AlienBees: The Busy Bee Complete Studio Setup Package
I would like to hear feedback from those that use alienbees. What are your thoughts on these lights?
My first question is: you have the option of either upgrading or downgrading within your package to diffent power of lights. Should I get 3 800 watt units and 1 1600 watt? 2 1600's? What would be the use of getting a 400 watt? Can an 800 watt not be turned down enough to use as background or hair light?
Please forgive my ignorance here, and I have been researching. Just not finding out what I needed to know here. I will be calling them, but wanted user input here. I am 98% an outdoor shooter (wildlife, etc), but am curious about studio work.
Thanks,
Derrick
