I want to get into Tungsten lighting & don't know much about the systems out there apart from their names:Arri, Lowel. I like to get the equivalent system of 2 strobe monolights ? Is that possible without having 10 lights? Can any one inform me on how much wattage I can plug into regular household current. Any thoughts would be appreciated. << I have a Lowell Omni light and a Lowell Tota light. I like them. They use 500w bulbs. I do not know what household current will handle but I have plugged them both in and not fried anything. Lowell is relatively inexpensive and well designed, has a large varitey of accessories, and a wide range of lights (including hot soft boxes and a fresnel). I do not know Arri. I would go to your local dealer and look. Hope this helps. Jay Coleman
