Hi Steve,

Thank you, I think you got the point. Since I am a beginner in portrait painting I was wondering should I need that advanced light system?. Most pros are discussing it. But What if someone does not have. Is there any alternative? Then You mentioned floodlight which is cheap, even though inferior.

My point is painter should have a keen perception of light & shadow just like the old masters had done.

Some day I might need that light system.

Regards,
Abdi
