Lighting dilema

[WeK]

Realizing the only time i even wanna go session my rail it's usually dark out I checked out some lighting at home depot, but not sure on what size to get.

Both are the 2 headlight style setup, both have a tripod thats a like 5ft or so which is perfect for what I want. Comes down to a $50 1200watt vs $40 1000watt.

The guy there said I prolly won't even need all 4 bulbs in a 1200watt to light my backyard up, but I'm not sure which to get. I really couldn't care less for an extra $10 but I don't wanna go overboard on the lighting. I'll prolly use these in the summer to lightup the trampoline too so thats why I don't really want them so bright that it's annoying but I think either here is gonna be really bright if your facing it anyway

Actually looking at this exact model.

maybe u could find a light with a similar wattage and see how bright it is to tell what u want, but i tink u would be fine with the lower wattage u dont need ur yard super bright just light enough to see

I just bought this 500 W light at canadian tire, and its actually so bright, it lights up my whole setup, so like 50 ft long by 20 ft deep and...it was 9 dollars, so you could buy like 4, and have a huge area lit up for the same price. its just like a single lamp on the ground version built by noma

i would go with the cheaper option. my light set up has one bulb hung out of my bathroom windows and it works fine.

i picked up those lights, exactly what I wanted, glad I went with the 1200 over the 1000 and the ease of setup and mobility is worth my extra $30-40

mine is 1000w and it works perfectly, and each light has a high and low setting so you can dial your lighting to get it just perfect

yea each of the 2 headlights here have 2 tabs, and each has 2 individual 300watt bulbs so you can turn just 1 on or both.

here's a quick video just to show the lighting,

i'll get one up of my, at the least, 40 attempts to 270 on without landing a single on later

its even easier to see if you can get the lights up higher like up on the tripod thing or higher and a sick camera angle is next to the light but kind of in front of it so you get the most light without being pointed at the light

yea i think ill try to get the lights up near the pool area behind the drop in and get the camera up there too, thanks for the advice
