Did you have the original Buff slaves or the newer ones? They weren't
happy with the original ones and had a recall and an upgrade offer to go
with the newer models. You might check that out with them. The older
models were purchased off the shelf from somewhere in the Far East.

Yes, those were his first design. I think Larry had one of those go
bad and Buff did a repair on it. Not sure what the cost was. I had
four of the White Lightning 1200 monolights and really liked them, but

Without knowing zilch about studio lighting I can only suggest that you
compare the price of replacement bulbs and the longevity of them for
both outfits. Given that you're starting on this route, you may want to
start with something that is cheaper to maintain in order to get you

One thing nobody has mentioned - if you want to shoot video with your
camera and you only have strobes, you're stuffed. Having said that,
those interfit lights are crap - don't waste your money. If stills is
what you shoot, then flash is what you need as everyone else has pointed out.
That said,

I see your point, Bill. That's one way to put it - buy whatever is the

In general, you're much better off with the flash units. I'm not familiar with
Falcon Eye products. They're made in China, but that may not be damning. 300
watt second is adequate power for a small studio. I use Studio Pro 300 watt

Any serious studio would use strobes. But then that's just his take on

I'm not going to bother checking specs or ratings for you.
Sure, that's not what I asked and even if I did, I wouldn't expect you
or anyone else to do so.
If 300W is enough, I don't need anything else.
Presuming that the strobes are of reasonable
to be such limited in Studio IMO
although there're probably a lot of other things of bigger importance.

You've already had some excellent advice from others, the only additional
consideration from me would be - do the flash units have modelling lights,
or can they be fitted later? I've worked with studio flash setups before,
and the ability to set your lighting and see how it will look is, IMO,
