Quest for Lights: American Science Surplus Store

Bought some new #lights for the interview I'm shooting Monday. Only $4.95 a light and super bright, about 250 Lumens! I ended up going to the American Science & Surplus, in Geneva, Illinois. "American Science & Surplus offers science kits, educational toys, school supplies, arts and crafts items, hobby tools, scales, lab glass, housewares, electronics..." all at really cheap prices. If you're ever in the area, definitely stop by this quirky little store. Check out their website here: www.sciplus.com/

I lights I got we're I-Zoom Versa Stick lightings. They have a clip and, best of all, a magnet on one end. I plan to use them by sticking the magnet end to the a mental light stand I already own. Because they're attached by a magnet, I can rotate them 360 degrees. They're very lightweight, at under 10 oz each. Unfortunately, they run on 3 AAA batteries, but because they're LED last several hours.

This is my experimental beauty lighting with these lights. It took me under 60 seconds to set up!

I'll be shooting with them at the beginning of next week and will write a post on my experience with them.
