New Lighting Additions

** I apologize for posting this in the wrong forum as I didn't realize I wasn't in the equipment forum **


Hey guys and gals!

I'm shopping for some new light additions to my small arsenal. I'll be using these lights on a feature length this July and August. We'll be running off a generator placed as far away as we can.

A lot of the filming will be:

1.) in a small room, windows have been boarded up providing little bits of sun rays and the walls are medium/dark brown, and the story calls for a lot of ambient lighting / candles

2.) outside (a lot of daytime ext. shots and a few night time ext. shots)

3.) old barns


So far I own these two Fluorescent lights:

CL-255PMD Cool Lights Portable Dimming 2 x 55 watt Softlight (3200K)

CL-655P Cool Lights Portable 6 x 55 watt Softlight (5600K)


I would like to spend under or around $1,000 for 1 or 2 lights. Additionally, any necessary accessories such as orange or blue gels? (I'm not a lighting guy but learning and practicing so I can light my own scenes when I need to)

I appreciate any and all advice and suggestions!!
