I have a simple project coming up in a couple days and i dont have a 3 point lighting system yet. I thought about using a Lowes work light, 500 watt, and bouncing it off a wall. Ive heard of people using two seperate 250 watt work lights, bouncing one off the wall and placing the other one behind the subject. Could i go wrong using this 500 watt light and bouncing the light?:

troy- we have already started this discussion in the other thread...

yes you can 100% get by with a work light...(keywords "get by"

get two of them bounce them off a wall and or white posterboard and your set...

they do drain tons of juice though..not sure if you can run two of these on the same without tripping something...i would be cautious
