I have a light set very similar to the ones you were looking at originally. I bought them quickly (and with a certain amout of panic!) when I had to shoot a group of 10-12 people in a poor lighting situation. All I had at the time was a basic strobist style 1 light flash and that was not going to do the job in this situation. They worked for what I needed them to do and I have used them on occassion ever since. They are not great. They are hot and limited in their ability to properly light a subject. However, they will do a basic job for you. As I understand lighting better (it's a slow process for me - lots to learn) I use them less and less and desire quality versions more and more.
