We're back! We took a bit of a break on this, did some different things, and decided to return to this format for the new year. If you haven't seen this from last year, we will highlight some of the deals and things we have found on the internet that seem cool to us.

We are in the dark winter months of the year here in the northern hemisphere, so as a quote once stated.. “Perhaps we can frighten away the ghost of so many years ago with a little illumination”

Flashpoint eVOLV 200 Pro TTL Pocket Flash Kit With Glow EZ Lock Octa Small Quick Softbox

Flashpoint is Adorama's own in-house rebranding of Godox flashes. You get the same flashes, but at a less expensive price, and usually, a decent bundle is thrown in for very little extra. If you are just starting out in flash photography, there are no better options than this.

The benefits of this kit include a highly portable monolight and a Bowens mount adapter that allows you to connect a virtually unlimited amount of light modifiers in front of the flash.

It's really hard to go wrong with this if you want a compact mono light flash, and right now, the kit is on sale for $299, down from its regular price of $425.84, saving you 30%.

Profoto D2 Duo 500/500 AirTTL 2-Light Kit

We have focused alot on cheaper, bang for the buck elements and well, that's all well and good, but there's times when we have to go top shelf, and you can't get much better than Profoto. Profo is a swedish company that has been around since 1968, and is one of the leading companies in high end studio lighting gear. These mono lights are … well, bonkers.

Features

2 x 500Ws Monolights
2 x Power Cords, 1 x Padded Bag
0.03-0.6 Sec Recycling
Built-In AirTTL Radio Receiver
1/63,000 Sec Freeze Mode Flash Duration
Quick Burst: Up to 20 Frames per Second
10-Stop Power Range: 1-500Ws
High Speed Sync to 1/8000 Sec
300W Modeling Lamp
100-240 VAC

Right now this two light kit is on sale for only $3099, saving you $1396 off the regular price. Yes, that sounds like alot, but when you consider that Canon was trying to sell the EL-1 for $2200 for the pair and isn't nowhere close to the capabilities, it doesnt' sound that bad all things considered.

By default, if you want E-TTL trigger and bowens speedring support, you have to add to this kit, but this is the top of the line professional studio kit.

Westcott FJ200 Strobe 2-Light Backpack Kit

Did the Profoto kit sticker price scare the daylights out of you? If so, then a more prosumer brand may be best for you. They have been around since, well, forever. Westcott started in 1899 selling umbrellas. They are also an American brand for those who like to shop Made in the USA.

This is a pretty decent kit. In my studio days, I had a Westcott flash system, and it was quite good. a 200w/s system is good for a smaller studio and when you don't use a lot of modifiers.
