lighting Entry level lighting gear

[punee]

Can anyone suggest me some nice entry level lighting gear which I can buy from Amazon? I looking for anything below 60$.
As I was browsing the frugal filmmaker, I found THIS.

Anyone uses this? Or any other suggestions for something around the same price?

Regards

I've used industrial lights from the hardware store. I'm no cinematography expert, but at least you can get some pretty strong light this way. On my site there's an article about the making of the short film SPOILER; the director talks about using iPhones and iPads to light tight shots.

So basically, you can spend money or you can get creative. Or both!

Yes, they do output a lot of light. They're okay. But don't forget that cinematography is about shaping light and playing with light and shadows.

Just blasting an industrial light in a scene won't give you a nice look

@Phil - Wow, just watched SOPHIE! Was that ever well-made! So impressed!

Thanks for the input guys! Yeah, I know Cinematography is a creative art. But I wanted atleast one good light source. I 'm planning to buy this now.

I got this kit and love it. Works great for everything so far. I did add a silver lined umbrella to the mix after a couple weeks so I could "spotlight" areas when needed.
