I had to rush into town today to purchase a portable and convenient method of diffusing light for a few mug shots I've been asked to do. I bought a White diffuser brollie for the "hillbilly" digital lights I have (the cheapo sets you see advertised).
I'd love a set of Bowens or similar, but I can't afford them and right now won't be using them often enough. I've noticed some DIY Studio setups recommend worklights, replacing the bulb/tube inside for a pure white-output.
Has anybody here used worklights as modelling lights?
I'm tempted as £30 for a bright light made for builders seems a better option than £300 for a light I can't afford to replace the bulb on.
Also, this is tempting when viewing the outdoor/rechargeable light sources, as a convenient and almost throwaway option for outdoor portraits.
Opinions?
