Continuous lighting

[SethAlbritton]

I had my ass handed to me at a wedding reception yesterday. It was almost pitch black. I ended up bouncing my flash off the brown wood ceiling and color correcting later. But what I would like to find is a good set of continuous lights to use for receptions. I have flashes and pocket wizards but for some reason they were flashing with out being triggered. There was a photobooth there and I assume that was causing the issue.

Anyway, what do you guys suggest for a continuous lighting set up. Thanks in advance.

They were probably triggering because you were on the same channel, for good continuous lights you are looking at big money, Arri, Kinoflo. i would rather use flash something like this Elincrom Quadra Ranger ELINCHROM - Ranger Quadra RX

Big money and big headaches.

Be sure your insurance is up to snuff because of power cords, hot lights, stands, modifiers, etc.
