Don't know photo lighting kit much. A mate of mine recently purchased a set of 4 builders lights (halogens) for like 40. They are of course not perfect studios, but fit one with a mily white perspex sheet, and there's a perfect softbox, add a couple of gells to the others, and ding dong. Works just fine. Takes some experimenting to get your colours balanced correctly, but other than that, hey man, it's just light ya know.
