Here is the setup she purchased:

And its only $149 plus shipping. I like the quality of the smith victor stuff, the stands are very sturdy, its almost like they do it as a loss leader, i.e. their margins are razor thin or non-existant for this setup in the hopes that you buy more of their stuff. It works, she did.

I am eyeing this at Adorama: http://www.adorama.com/LTOS.html
About what I want to spend (as cheap as I can -- I really don't want to go over $200). What with it being rainy, rainy here in California and wanting to shoot again, I thought I'd move indoors for a while. I have a decent macro lens and some things I could shoot. I am not thinking portrait shots at this point, just still lifes. (I took a portrait class about 8 months ago, and am somewhat familiar with softboxes, etc. These lights would not be tripped by a PC cord -- I imagine I would have them always on when shooting.)
Bruce (Dayton) suggested that since I am shooting digital and can adjust white balance, that I not bother with Photoflood lights, just use Halogen or something.
Anyway, any input is helpful. Does this look like a half way decent buy? Or does someone has a better idea? A better recommendation? (Bearing cost in mind.)
