The Westcott Erin Manning Home Studio Lighting Kit (120VAC) is a great way to start shooting studio-type photographs: the kit includes two standard Edison lamp base light fixtures, two 85W daylight-balanced fluorescent bulbs, two 6.5' light stands, two 20x20" softboxes, and an educational DVD to get you started. The fluorescent bulbs each have an approximate life of more than 8,000 hours and are 5500K daylight bulbs.
