Yea. Construction/home tungsten is all about the light and not comfort. Construction can get pretty bright which is what you need. A 100W or 200W bulb might seem bright to us, but for photography that's really low. My smallest light is a 650W one that I use for hair/rim lighting. My main lights go up to 1000W. Tungstens made for studio are designed to be a bit cooler (both in front of the light and the housing itself). Want really cool, you'll need to spend a few grand on an HMI system. Strobes can get expensive, that's for sure. Over a couple of years, I put together a 5-light Broncolor set. Replacement strobe bulbs are $200+ a piece for them. Luckily, I have 3 extras on hand. I'll probably sell the set after I lose a 2nd bulb. :) -=>Donald
