So after no replies to my post on the Bowens Prolite 100 I am after suggestions of a 500W twin Head Kit Price $1500-$2000 Use will be bottom end pro use in home family portrait use.I dont want a cheap chineese set that will blow up in a clients home but rather a kit that i can keep for 10-15 years.
Under consideration is
Bowens Esprit Gemini--$1800
Pro flash 500A or 500D
The Kit will be transported to clients homes.
Any Suggestions-comments-experienced users??

I don't have studio lighting but have you thought of Alien Bees?

I have and still use Elinchrom 1500w and 1000w studio heads that I have had for over 14 years...... must admit that my softbox does need replacement along with the brollys...... and still able to be repaired if needed

HI Well I have recieved my Elinchrom xr5oo watt twin light kit and am loving it.It was a bit bare for accesories but I am very happy with my first shots.If I could figure out how to post an image i would upload a couple for comment??May be a Senior memberwho lives near might volanteer but for now I will continue the learning curve--cheers InMotion

The bowens or elinchrom are readily available in Australia so get those ones. There are also more expensive brands like profoto or broncolor too but they will cost you quite a bit.

I am in the process of getting a big order of alienbees from the US, should give me a heart attack after seeing what the costs are seeing they put an extra 10% for international orders and the customs here might whack on another 10% as well...

HI as previous I have received Elinchrom 5oow set and so far very happy with them--jim
