At the link is a portable, 300W halogen work light specifically designed for painters. Lense is diffused, and assuming (since made for painting/decorating) that light is very white. What I'm looking for is a way to get a decent digital photography studio in a suitcase-sized setup without breaking the bank. Have laptop and cameras already. Thinking halogen lighting and a few sheets for backdrop. Think the light at the link would be better than a regular haloger work light? Or just go "regular" and adjust white balance accordingly? THANX!
