Low-Budget Lighting Kit

Hey guys,

I'm a cinematographer in the UK trying to acquire lights for a beginner/low-budget lighting kit and many filmmaking websites, forums and videos suggest 'clamp lights' ------> http://ace.imageg.net/graphics/product_images/pACE-987879dt.jpg (example of clamp light).

I've searched many websites and I've found they are very common in the USA but as I'm from the UK I cannot find any of these clamp lights anywhere, without shipping them internationally which is quite costly.

Can anyone suggest where to buy these from in the UK or if you have any low-budget lighting what else do you use?

buy power strips + adaptors to plug light bulbs into the power sockets.

mount those inside of a white box.

on the bottom of the box, screw in a flag pole holder. This lets you tilt the box up or down.

Slide that flag pole holder into a light stand.
