buying lights for small studio - suggested vendors

[Robert Learner]

I'm buying lights for a small studio I work often at in the NYC area. We're looking for a 8 or so tungsten heads, from 2K on down. Pricing at B&H Photo, along w/stands, doors, scrims and 5 c-stands is at around 6K going generally w/Mole heads. Any suggestions on where else to price this out? Where also interested in purchasing used stuff, but I've been unable to locate any so far.

 

thanks.

Try Stephen Kaye at http://kayelites.com/. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful, albeit a bit talkative. He also has a large selection of used lighting as well.

You'll have to ship the equipment from LA with both places

But you'll get a better price then most places in NYC
