Re: Need suggestion on what type of lights to buy

The Lowel DP kits are tungsten kits. You need, I think from your description, daylight lighting. One option: the Lowel Caselight with daylight bulbs: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=sort&A=search&Q=&sortDrop.... These come in 4-bulb and 2-bulb models, and fold into a single, portable case. Another is the Kino Flo Diva Lights which are a bit more expensive: http://www.bhphotovideo.com/bnh/controller/home?O=sort&A=search&Q=&sortDrop...

Note that you can use the same daylight units to light your windowless studio.

Another alternative is to go with tungsten units and add 1/2 CTB to each. Remember when you see out the window you want the outside to be around 2 stops hotter than the inside.

Finally, for LED options, do a GoogleSearch. Two quick choices: BHPhotovideo.com, search for "LED", and CoolLights. (Their server is down right now.)
