Using strobes instead continuous lighting?

Recommended Posts

Hey there! I'm thinking to get few new lights for my "studio" and for now i've used DIY continuous lighting. My principal question is: can i buy 3 strobes for photography and use the modeling light instead of using simple fluorescent lights? I'm asking this because i like both video and photography and i'm searching for a type of lights that i can use in both applications, where i can put umbrellas or softboxes on them. It's worth buying them? what is the temperature of the modeling light?

Thanks :)

If you do decide to pick up the strobes and just need some more basic soft light, maybe look into picking up a few china balls. Super cheap and look great at the cost of being hard to control the light. You can get them in all kinds of different wattages as well. I think the strobe modeling light is usually about the equivalent of a 75w bulb.
