It depends on which lights you get. There is already a thread talking specifically about HF lights and how good they are and what you can do for very little money to improve them significantly. Search a little and you'll find it.

And, hey, whadda ya know?

You share titles. How cute.

i just noticed something. have a look at these:

http://www.harborfreight.com/off-roa...stem-3029.html



those are 2 lights with lense guard for $30.00 and are 100W h3 bulbs. the other single light is $15.00 and 55W h3 bulb. So i'd be paying the same cost to get about 100W less power if im not mistaken. The $15.00 single light looks a heck of a lot more rigid though
