Help please!!!! I am looking for a portable light source that doesn't cost a bundle. What I really want is a power source that I can take to plug my lighting system into. I want to take photos in the country, I won't be close to my vehicle.
I've been looking but some of the reviews aren't good. I really don't need the jump start for my car, as that seems to be what I've found.
Any info would be helpful.
I'm new at this and want to explore everything.

Why not a small portable generator you can get a 1500 to 2000 watt that would not cost you a arm and leg and the small ones are not real heavy.

My thought as well.

I don't know how much electricity you will need, but http://www.wisesales.com/eu2000ia-honda-generator.html will probably work for you.

Honda makes some great small generators that are extemely quiet as well......

I use a 1200 watt inverter and a car battery mounted on a small handtruck.

Thank you for helping. I'm using 45W 5500K Photographic Lamp. The package also says B22 E27. I purchased a kit with 4 light bulbs and 4 light stands. So far that's all I well be using. Well I hope to get a fog machine in the future.
I hope I can get something light

That's ME!!!! I'm doing another photo shoot with my granddaughter this weekend. I found a professional photographer online who creates paper gowns for her models. I know I'm over my head in this but I have a guinea pig, a vision and a dream LOL LOL LOL

Check out her website.
