Bag for lighting gear?

[JClishe]

Has anyone seen a bag that's specifically designed for lighting gear? Speedlights, gels, batteries, triggers, etc. Or do you just use a regular camera bag and customize it as necessary?

I've got a Domke f-5xb that fits 4 speedlights very well. It can also fit the gels and triggers. My lightstands (Linco) came with a carry bag that also fits the umbrellas.

I use a full size suitcase to store/carry 4 monolights, smaller light stands, backdrops, gels, clamps, cords, umbrella, grids and whatever else will fit. It's big and heavy, but it makes it easy to move around and keep that stuff organized....(because I can't leave it set up at home).

For a smaller, portable lighting kit...I just use one of my various camera bags. A couple flashes, batteries, triggers, umbrella adapters/clamps etc. Most camera bags are pretty adjustable.

I have seen bags specifically for lighting gear, but they are typically travel bags for studio gear. Impact Light Kit Bag (34 x 13.5 x 8") A4235 B&H Photo Video

If I were going to go out and buy a bag/case specifically for a portable lighting kit, I'd look at something like a ThinkTank Airporter or something similar.

They make bags specifically for stands and such, but for my speedlights I used an additional camera bag to fit the lights, triggers, and smaller accessories. I also used a Pelican case for my larger "studio" lighting setup. I don't know of any companies that make bags and market them specifically for carrying just lighting equipment.
