PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO LIGHTING KIT 600 WATT FLUORESCENT PHOTO DIGITAL VIDEO by PBL
$129.00
I ordered this setup and it put together very well enough. I am happy with everything except the light output. I have to put the lights VERY close to my subject if I want to shoot at less than ISO 400... Is there enough light to shoot a family portrait? I don't think so! Unless I figure out what I am doing wrong, I don't know if I am going to be able to use these lights! I am thinking I will have to replace them with my flash units at times...

Lithonia Lighting 11750 BN M4 Saturn One-Light Fluorescent Semi Flush-Mount Ceiling Fixture, Brushed Nickel with White Acrylic Globe
$69.99
After shopping in the area and finding overpriced fixtures or low quality fixtures, I went to Amazon and chose these Lithonia lights. I needed both flush and semi-flush for my new addition. These look great, give excellent light and are easy to install. For me, it was the right way to go.

Good Earth Lighting G9112-WH-I Sunrise 2-Light 20-Watt Halogen Undercabinet Lighting Bar with Dimmer, White
$21.85
I got undercounter light to shine some light on my new slate backsplash. The light is great and was very easy to install. I just wish I had been smart enough to install light before I installed my backsplash. I could ended that unsightly wire.

All in all, I love this light and the dimmer makes this a even better light. I have not had it for more than a week, so I can say anything about durability.

Hardware House 543744 Berkshire 12-Inch by 5-1/2-Inch Ceiling Lighting Fixture Oil-Rubbed Bronze
$29.66
We ordered the entire set for our living room, dining room, and breakfast area. They are perfect!! The chandelier is the perfect size for a smaller dining room as it does not overpower the room.
