600W is just enough I think. From what I understood is that there is only 1 light and 1 softbox in the kit. If I were you I would wait, save some money and buy a kit with 2 lights - it gives you more flexibility and creativity. I currently have Lastolite Lumen 8 F400 Light Studio Set with 2 lights (400W each) and 2 umbrellas. It was quite expensive - I paid around 450euros (hmm 550dollars or so) but it was worth it. At the moment, 400W is enough for me. So maybe you might want to look for a kit with 2 lights 400W? Just a thought

Ya im not getting it just though other people might want to take a look. I would probably buy 2 of those kits and get 2 lights. However im going to invest in Alien Bee's when I have a permanant studio.

Normally you have about 2 hours on the sale so better get it soon. I think they target impulse buyers.
