I am wondering What you guys use to light up your urban setups. i have been using 2 500wt construction lights to light up my setup and they are making a really harsh light that makes it hard for the ramps to get focused on and you can't get any depth to your videos. if anybody can help it would be great!!! my budget is around 500 dollars for a couple lights.

I have one of these kits, its really nice! (mine are blue, not red, but just look up redhead lighting kits for reviews)

three lights should be enough with those other lights to get some even lighting. and these have dimmers so you can use one for shadow filler

we have always just used the classic 500w construction/painting lights. we use about 6 (3 stands) per session and they work great. i feel like if you know how to adjust your white balance and adjust your settings accordingly you shouldnt have to many problems. sure they are the best lights but they get the job done quite well and we have never had issues with lack of depth or what not.
