Wow! mrbeagle, like your studio, great photos. Looks like the studio I hope to have soon (still trying to clear it out)...... What are the dimensions of your studio? What camera/lens did you use?
Thanks for the kind words Carmen, we had so much fun fooling around.
I'm not sure if it qualifies as a one light set-up though because I used the work-lights as hairlight - btw THIS C Stand is really a pain (safety note: these worklights get HOT around 250-300F so care must be taken when supporting them - but hey they are $25 in the Home Depot ).
The set up qualifies for a strobist tag for sure since mostly everything I used here I learned reading that blog...
Amazing that this thread is still going after 3 years. Amazing also is the quality of work shown, the improvement in skills by so many and some excellent studios.
great job mr.beagle.. i love what you've done with the place, and the result is excellent.
BTW, what is the height of your ceiling? and the dimension of the room?

I bought the same worklight at HD last year for some house work, I've got some strobes but it would be nice addition to use it for photography or video purposes. How did you get the wire mesh, thats protecting the lights, out?
I took a big old diagonal cutter and cut those off . There must be a non-destructive way but I could not figure out how to remove the glass cover without braking it.
Brent,
Can you upload the pictures back up to the post. They seem to be gone. I will check the post when I get home tonight to see if it is just the work computer not showing them.
Somewhere, sometime,in this thread, I saw someone's studio setup where they had two background lights mounted upside down and hanging from rods that were permanently mounted to the ceiling. It appeared that the setup I'm talking about was not homemade....but appeared to be an existing system. These background lights were separate from and in addition to a rail system.
Does anyone know who this was........or where I can find the rods, brackets, etc to do this?
Sorry, but you didnt read my question closely enough. I said, "...These background lights were separate from and in addition to a rail system"...
I am asking about "rods" mounted to the ceiling from which the background lights hang.
Thanks for responding but do you have any ideas about the real issue?
I may not understand your inquiry either, but you may be looking for something called a Baby Plate or a Baby Wall Plate. Here's one example that I've used:
The F-800, 805 and 808 are fairly common items. I've seen them used from ceiling studs for mono lights even though they are designed for a wall. Mostly I use the 800 and 805 when I want my lights tight to the floor. But with a few screws and a drill they can be handy for location work too.

Good luck.
THANK YOU........THANK YOU........THANK YOU.
This must have been what I saw.
QUESTIONS:
I assume this accepts the light without any adapters?
What is the difference in the three models...I saw none.
