READ THIS FIRST

First of all, I LOVE LIGHTS. I am so passionate about lighting that I have managed to buy almost three times as many lights than what fits on the truck (79 heads total, more lights than most 10-ton trucks, 75 of them all on house power). To reiterate: NOT ALL THE EQUIPMENT ON THIS LIST FITS ON THE TRUCK ALL AT ONCE. Email me a list of "must haves" and a list of "if it fits on the truck it would be nice".

For example:

DP Scenario 1 - "We're doing daylight interiors in a small living room, so bring two 1200 HMIs and four 4' x 4 Kinos, but leave all the tungsten at home. If you can fit a 575 HMI that would be nice but it's not necessary. I need to block out two windows with two floppies, so 10 c-stands is enough."

DP Scenario 2 - "We are shooting a music video on a small stage, and I need exactly 2 x 2ks, 4 x 1ks, 2 x 650s, 2 combo stands, 6 beefy babies, and 8 c-stands for flags. Bring 12 stingers since we are on house power only."

Secondly, I am always buying more stuff, so if there is something small you don't see here, give me a call and see if I have one. If I don't, I can sub-rent it from any of the local rental houses or one of my friends if my schedule permits it.

FYI: The nomenclature (10 + 10) means I usually have 10 on my truck, and 10 at the photo studio.
