Hi all
I am new to the forums but hope to be of help in future wherever I can.
I need some help with lighting. I have been charged with producing some product photos of the things we sell for the small business I work for. I have had some success using a lighting tent for the smaller products so thats all good.
However I need to do some of larger items which dont fit into the tent. Mainly microscopes (we sell optical equipment for science) I have a nice background stand and white paper background so thats all good. However I need some lights to illuminate the products. I have a room set aside so the gear wont really need to be portable either.
Can anyone give me some advice about whether its better to have continuous light soft boxes or to set up a strobe / flash system? I am pretty confident I could set up a simple light rig using continuous but dont want to miss something with regards to strobe lights. I need to buy some equipment and have seen two things on amazon and ebay below which appeal. However I am not sure which technique is best therefore dont know what gear to get.

3 x950w Continuous Lighting Kit Studio Photography Light + softbox + light stand | eBay
I would really appreciate any input as I am getting a bit bogged down with the details and I want to crack on.
Many thanks
