    I've been doing some research on lighting....I'm sure you have all seen my threads questioning light. Well I also noticed that alot of people don't have their lighting in the sigs.

    What is the lighting type, watt, and kelvins you use?


    thanks

    If you couldn't tell already, equipment, especially lighting, is not my forte :) I have no idea what we're running but I do that it's a combination of VHO flourescent and MH.
