Photographic lamp problem

I used U2 light, but it didn't feel good. When I was in the school photography association, they sponsored several of the worst and cheapest (stingy), but I still use them after four years, but one of the lights burned a light bulb and the other charger was crushed by them. There are no other problems. I recommend U2 brand for domestic products.

About the main light \ auxiliary light, it is purely a matter of the light angle of your picture shooting. For example, if you shoot a person's face with direct light on the right side, in order to prevent the face on the left side from getting completely dark, you will shoot a light with low brightness on the left side (which can be adjusted by power and distance), so the one on the right side is called the main light and the one on the left side is called the auxiliary light, but the same brand and model can be used. When selling lamps, they can be used completely.

Of course, the more lights, the more convenient. With a tripod, you can surround the subject in 360 degrees (although you may only use a few of them when shooting). If there are many lights, it can save a lot of dimming time and improve efficiency (for example, it takes 5 minutes at the earliest to dismantle the whole set of soft light boxes, so it is better to give them to a senior photographer with a monthly salary of 20 thousand, so that you can buy another light every month, saving lighting and labor costs).

Pay attention to power supply, indoor and outdoor lighting (outdoor lighting is also called outdoor lighting, with independent power storage equipment and supporting charging equipment, which is much more expensive) and other extension parts (lampshade, baffle cover, color film buckle, flasher). It is recommended to use a lampshade with uniform caliber, and accessories are generally more convenient.

If there is no photography assistant, it is recommended to have at least 3 indoor lights (cheaper), and accessories can be purchased step by step with your shooting habits and styles (color film, soft light box, reflector, honeycomb cover, etc.). ). All synchronous flashes require a synchronization device (flash trigger or line trigger). The power selection depends on the size of your studio and the content you are shooting. I can't answer the question unless you tell the whole story (if you take a 2k flash to get out of the way, shooting the whole wedding set will blind this person). You can feel it in the equipment store. Because the power is adjustable, you can choose more, but if you reserve it twice, the cost is too high and it is a waste of money.
